Bottle. A murky orange-brown beer with a small beige head. Quite boozy, alcoholic aroma, caramel, bread, dried fruits and some chocolate and cocoa. It's warming and full bodied, smooth and semi-sweet, with flavors of roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, dark dried fruits and cocoa. Lasting finish. Too boozy this one, still quite nice. 201106

Bottle. Black body with a huge, creamy pale beige head that lasts longer than the standard unbarreled version. Quite lively carbonation keeps the head alive for a while. Lovely aroma, dark malt, wood, smooth warming alcohol where the candy sugar seems to become more in the background compared with the standard version, hint of dry fruit and spices. Flavor is sweet, dark malt, distinct warming alcohol, light wood impression, candy sugar, caramel and Belgium yeast. Perfect balancing body with a long and rather complex aftertaste. A really nice belgium quad with lots of complexity, could be compared with some of the barrel aged Trappist beers. The barrel and oak has really made a big difference from the regular version in this case.
