These blond beer ripe during several months in original used Porto barrels. We try to make sure the barrels we buy are in the most fresh condition as possible. We guaranty all the flavours in the beers only come from the barrels.

Slightly hazy, light amber golden, white head. Fruity aroma, wood, chocolate, banana and vanilla. Rather sweet flavour, malts, light porto, chocolate milk and loads of banana. Sweet finish, porto and wood.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, and grapes. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, syrup, and grapes, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an almost clear amber with a small white head leaving a discreet lacework. Sweet caramel aroma with quite some booze. Medium body - strangely this one is low in carbonation, sweet caramel, slightly woody, again extremely boozy. 200812

Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Dave. Orangé, col inexistant. Arôme donne des notes presque de tourbe? avec en retrait une pointe de fruit noir/rouge raisin qui vient se manifester. Palais donne en réchauffant des notes de fruit/vin de Porto présents mais tujours un peu trop en retrait pour ce que une bière de ce volume d’alcool pourrait contenir. Le tout reste assez sucré, note tourbe malté et un houblon ajoutant une très brève note d’amertume.
