Bright blond colour with thin head. Aroma is vinous and woody. Delicate fruity, sharp notes that are close to grapes in profile. There's a vanilla sweetness from the barrel that adds a lingering sweetness in the finish.

20/VIII/22 - 33cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival, BB: n/a (2022-1079)
Clear blond beer, small creamy white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: cognac? Sweet and fruity, lots of apples, maybe Calvados or brandy? Not really sure what barrels were used here. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, very yeasty, fruity, sourish, more yeast, weird, rather unpleasant. Aftertaste: sourish, bitter, pretty unpleasant, weird acidic character, unpleasant, don’t like it. Apparently it's been aged in a whisky barrel. I'm pretty sure it somehow got infected while barrel ageing, the result is by no surprise rather unimpressive. Or maybe it's impressive it's only this bad, after having an infection in the barrel.
