Set forth to become the conqueror of extremely special and rare Spanish brandy barrels that were captured by our crew, El Frogquistador was conceived. It had to be prepared for battle, yet lively and agile enough to conquer all this delicious, complex and memorable goodness.

Refrigerated brown bottle poured into a glass. Cloudy golden with small white head. Aroma is liquor, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is sweet liquor and some barrel.

L42 Bottleshare. Very hazy gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Light and sweetish malts. Decent orangey dried fruits. Spice. Vague brandy and vanilla. Light finish. Pleasant enough but a little unexciting.

Bottle from the dregs run. Cheers Craig! Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Aromas of sherry, oak, tinned pineapple. Taste is fruity, madeira cake like my gran used to make. Woody notes at the back. Sweet almond linger.

A yellow beer, a head is small and blond. Aroma is surprisingly intensive,dried fruitness, but it’s fresher than typically, apricot, some raisins and strenght of barrel. Taste has quite fresh but also intensive dried fruitness, soem raisins, also balanced barrel. Medium+ bodied. Interesting beer, the feeling of appearance isn’t similar than flavours of dried fruitness there, still fresh. Tasteful.

Bottle from boxbeers.dk duly chilled to perfection at around 10 celc hazy yellow, small white head. aroma of citrussy booze and also some kind of mild malts. flavor is lots of booze with fruity and woody notes. Tastes like those spanish traditional rural cellar bodages smell.... which bring back memories... sour notes, woody nootes, boozy notes, orange peel, orange juice, red wine, moist wine cellar. nice experience but you probably have had to be in a spanish cellar bodega to get the connection and the deja-vu. very well done frog!

Bouteille 33cl. Dorée/paille sur léger voile, col blanc retombant assez vite. Arôme au nez marqué de barrique de Brandy douceur arrive en rétro avec un effet un peu levure sauvage d’abricot, sans en avoir le côté suret. Le tout sur qcq relents de levure et fleuri houblonné. Palais de Brandy assez marqué et ajoutant un bonne note de sucre résiduel qui même à juste 8.6% est assez limite. Petite note de houblons nobles, impression de vin blanc, abricot et raisin blanc. Malt plutôt pils, cara pâle.
