33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. BBF 12/2017. Pours a very dark brown to black with a nice creamy mocha head that slowly sinks away, looks pretty nice. Taste is light roast, thick mocha, rich milk chocolate, chocolate mouse, nice chunk of sugar, smell is quite inviting. Tastes of liquorish, roast, ashes, charcoal, quite syrupy mixed with blueberry and blackcurrant jam, lots of coffee grounds, this sugary. Not that thick, touch lower carbonation. Way better than expected, this isn’t bad at all. Nicely done. I heard that the brewer is proud of the beer & I understand him.

Flaska frĂĄn Beergium. An amber very cloudy saison with a small head. Lots of green herbs, fresh cut flowers, saison yeast and earthy notes. Not as crisp as my favorite saisons but with nice green earthy herbal spicy taste of fresh slithly bitter lettuce, green tomatoes, green pepper, flowers (think chewing on the green part of a tulip), yeast. A lingering sweetness and a small bitterness that keeps the balance ok. An earthy, herbal tasty sison that I really enjoyed.

@RBBWG14. Thanks Kraddel! Dark brown, some white foam. Medium body. Good balance but maybe a bit too sweet. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit and some bourbon.

33cl bouteille @ RBBWG III, thanks BeerLover_Ben. Yet another example of too much alcool just doesn’t make your eber better. Cuivrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme est malté avec pas mal de levure, note légère de sucre brun, fruité et caramel. Note franchement peu d’influence du Cognac. Palais est malté, garde une pointe d’épice rappelant plus le genièvre que le Cognac. Touche de pomme assez faiblard. AU final, le niveau des 16% ruine le tout et submerge toute la base de la bière. Tellement que le Cognac lui-même se note très peu.

33cl bouteille @ RBBWG III, thanks Kraddel. Please White Pony, stop the race for strongest beer, it’s not playing in your favour. Cuivrée, col beige moyen. Arôme garde ce bouquet de pelure de pomme avec des effluves un peu bizarre, note caramel malté assez modérée. Palais est pris de devant par un niveau alcool omniprésent. Garde un côté pomme caramélisée, sucre moyen tirant sur les phénols. Garde une note cidre. Levure assez présente sur qcq notes fruitée. Sans plus.
