3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml bottle. Clear reddish coppery colour, thin white head. Sweet malty aroma with dried fruits, vanilla and a whiff of oak and cognac. The flavour is sweetish fruity, slightly alcoholic, with vanilla, oak and a bitter hoppy finish. Medium-bodied. Quite nice, but far from the best oak aged beers I’ve tasted.

A very strong English ale. Taste like a barley wine. Does not taste of cask, more like there is mixed cognac in the beer. Sharp and strong alcohol taste.

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Rating #733, bottle shared with Jakob @ Hatten Bar. Appearance is dark amber with a certain hazyness, and a small dissapearing head. Immidiate cognac in the aroma, yeast, caramel and berries. A bit barley wine like. Flavors are sherry, berries, strawberry, caramel and yeast at most times. A bit wood maybe. Really round, smooth and creamy palate with a perfect carbonation to fit this brew. Better than the no.3 .
4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
From bottle at Copenhagen Beer Festival: a fantastic aroma of cognac and cherries. Hint of rasberries. Great mouthfeel with complexity and gentle sweetness. A five star experience!
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A clear amber/light brown colored beer, with a thick foamy light beige head. The aroma of sweet malt and fruits, like apricot. The taste has also sweet fruits, some bitter with tonsal, apricot and notes of wood. The aftertaste is sweet with a little bitter.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours deep reddy orange with a tan head which rapidly disappeared. Aroma is strong with sherry, banana and raisin. Taste is very much dominated by the cognac, with marmalade, raisin, and a liquor alcohol part especially on the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium but nicely carbonated and quite smooth. More of a watered down liquor than a beer really, but finely crafted and tasty nonetheless.

Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier, Switzerland
No. 30908, bb 2013
Bright amber color, with medium sized creamy head. The aroma is mild and delicate, with malt, fruits, vanilla; fresh. Malt and caramel flavor, not particularly rich, and with a light vegetables and alcohol touch. It may be better in a year, but not much.
