375 ml. corked & caged bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Some 2700 bottles made apparently. Reddish dark brown with a tanned head. Nose is wonderful, vanilla, lots of cocoa, sweet, wood vanilla, caramel, sweet mocha malts etc. Taste is lovely even if not as full as I had hoped going by the smell, sweet, mocha, milk chocolate, plenty of wood vanilla, sweet toffee, some bourbon, sweetish brown sugar. Body is a touch lighter than expected. Pretty good but not on par with cognac, I feel like it could have been even better, still pretty good stuff here.

Bottled, BB 02/07/15, large sample. Slight hazy golden to orange color, big frothy off-white head. Aroma of grassy hop, hint of grapefruit and pine, slight spicy, slight hint of grainy malt. Quite bitter in taste, fruity and spicy on the palate, quite dry. Palate is a bit harsh and unbalanced. Lacks some malty backbone and the dry spicyness gives away some alcohol as well. Belgian yeast notes are not that prominent, which is a good thing imo. So it becomes more of a fusion IPA. Pretty ok, but a bit harsh.
