Thnx to Urbain ! Pours very dark amber, good white head, that is very stable. Smell is rich, fruity, oak, bit bitter, the basebeer shines trough very nicely. Taste is sharp, bit bitter, mild booze, dry, oak, wine comes trough very clearly, as well as the fruityness. Aestatis isn’t my fav beer by far, but I think this version makes it shine pretty nicely !

Draft @ Het Schooltje courtesy of Carlo. Shared with the UnPer100 crew. Léger orange versant sur l’ambre, fin blanc, doré au verre. Similaire à la version Bourbon+Rhum si ce n’est pour le changement de barrique. J’ajoute qu’ici, tout comme sur la version de Blue Monk, cette barrique offre un intéressant côté fruité du vin, principalement un profil raisin, cassis et de cerise, le tout marche correctement avec cette saison revisitée de Struise. Juste un cran en dessous de la version Bourbon.
