Bottle from AH Jan Linders. Color: Murky dark brown, light brown head. Aroma: Dark malt combined with fruity Cognac notes. Taste: Dark malt, caramel, caramel fudge, combined with fruity Cognac notes. Tasting a bit artificial and, in my opinion, more like it's aged on wood chips soaked in Cognac than Cognac barrel aged. Although I don't want to doubt Kees' barrel age claim. Light boozy hints. Over medium to full body, below average carbonation. Over moderate to medium sweet, moderate bitterness.
Edit 2026/06/28: Second bottle didn't age very well. Gusher. Brett infection.

On tap at Proeflokaal Arendsnest. Fruity, herbal aroma, thyme, some pale malts and hops. Tea showing up in the aftertaste. An unusual one, interesting and quite nice. 647414 251109

On tap at Proeflokaal Arendsnest. Juicy, with citrus zest and tropical fruit. Dry and medium bodied. Nothing particular going on here, but it's a well brewed and tasteful beer anyway. 747414 251109

Can. Sweet, warming, smooth and full bodied. Bourbon, brown sugar, some coffee and roasted malts. Caramel. Nice indeed, but a bit too warming, even for a beer at this strength. 747515 251109

0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', best before August 2026. Hazy, pale orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity, a little dank aroma of orange, mango, passion fruit and hints of grapefruit. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite fruity taste of orange, mango, passion fruit and some grapefruit, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate bubbly head that settles quickly. Aromas of dark caramel, vanilla, chocolate syrup, treacle, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of follow same with emphasis' on rich sweet chocolate. Not as sweet as I was expecting for the high ABV and a bit of a dry bitter finish. A very good pastry stout.
