Sample @ 6de Gents Bierfestival 2015. Brune sur un léger trouble, col fin beige voire blanc-cassé. Arôme met de suite un accent sur le côté prenant de la barrique offrant de belles effluves de Whisky avec un léger rétro vanillé. Rétro met aussi en avant un malté agréable tirant sur le caramel, léger grillé et touche de chocolaté. Palais sur un palais prenant alcoolisé et réchauffant. Retrouve un beau boisé sur fine note de vanille. Malt pâle et caramel? pointe de grillé, les houblons sont aussi bien là rappelant des essences vertes, agrumes et bien citronnées. Le tout restant un peu faiblard pour une bière qui s’enorgueillit de pousser les 100IBU.

Small off-white rim over fully opaque dark brown beer with orange reflections. Very aromatic, even perfumey C-hops, rosewater, sweet. Bourbon, vanilla, alcohol, chocolate, coloured malts. "Hot", alcoholheat, slick & full bodied. Nice, but once more, nothing new.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear gold beer, bubbly white head. Palate is light and crispy, nice condition. Clean pale malts. Zesty orange and lemon. The ginger manifests weirdly - like herb and nettles. A touch of perfume as well, parma violets underneath. Light finish with a bitter peel linger. Unusual. Quite liked it after the initial shock.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2015. Clear gold colour lasting white head. like lemon meringue pie on the aroma. Then the ginger kicks in. It’s OK. Starts better than it finishes. Bit like washing up liquid.
