750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice leathery funk, light citrus, and some gentle barnyard notes. Flavour has a nice barnyard funk character, subdued leather, citrus, and light hay. Nicely balanced, with a citric acidity on the finish. Very good.

Bottle picked up at Boerenerf. Quite hazy and fairly dark gold. Impressive white swede. Nose has soft sweet cognac sodden oak. New leather. Sweet white grape. Hint of balsamic vinegar. Some light peachy notes. Taste has a flicker of fruit sweetness and a crisp light dry bitterness. Tangy and lightly puckering without being acidic. Drinks mighty easy with the 8.4% not really evident at all. Just brings on a well rounded mouthfeel. Juicy tart finish. Not the biggest barrel presence but enough to give good character. Another high class affair from this producer.

Bottle picked up at the brewery. Hazed orange gold. Pretty impressive soppy white swede stays the course nicely. As new as Boerenerf is, they do seem to already have a uniqueness about them. Lovely sweet raisin here. Light musty oak. Touch of lemony twang. Soft sweet vanilla. Taste is semi sweet with plenty of tartness and a hit of fusty fruit bitterness. Drinks well easy overall. There’s no acidity. Juicy tart grape forward and highly drinkable.

Small white rim ove hazy orange-golden beer. Fruity, horseblanket, Bretts; some barnyard odours and a 'creamier' fusels' nose; sulphur. Quite acidic - especially seen the Pineau, there's nothing left from the sweetened cognac. Fruity indeed, if not necessarily winegrapes. Lactic, but even just below identifying treshold acetic, it would seem. Ultra sharp, nothing mals; good carbonation. Acidburn and -thinning. I'm quite underwhelmed, this ought to have been way more sophisticated, Pineau des Charentes being - when quality product - a fantastic if sweet complex liqueur.

Bottle split with the missus at Boerenerf. Lightly misted gold. No head. Lots of sweet grape. Must and oak. Super drinkable cleansing and refreshing. Smashed down with aplomb.

Bottle split with the missus at Boerenerf. Deep ruby red. Pink foam reduces to a slim ring. Rich with vanilla and sweet bourbon. Some notes of dark chocolate. Pretty scary easy drinking with minimal acidity. Ace.

375ml bottle split with the missus at Boerenerf. Misted gold with a decent swede. Fresh and lightly funky. Dessert apple character throughout. No acidity here.

Bottle. Le Comptoir Belge. Hazed gold. Solid lasting, semi lacing white foam. Looks boss. Nose has so much peach and nectarine you’d think this was fruited. Light oak. Some citrus. Some sweaty funk. Taste is peachy sweet for a nano second then gets lightly tart and light bitter. Drinkability is high. As in smashable. Juicy tart finish. Glorious.
