4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20(Bottled) Clear copper with a medium head - nice one for an oak aged beer. Strong vanilla oakiness in the nose with calvados, red wine and almost lambic-tart apple fruitiness. Flavor is less sour, and there’s no red wine. Calvados-like apple tartness is, however, present, with some whisky-like roughness in the background. ABV is very well hidden, and the overall balance is great. Medium to full body, quite low CO2. A very non-British brew, that reminds me of ’t Smisje Calva Reserva - but without the sweetness. A successful barrel-ageing, and certainly among the very best English brews I’ve had.

.5l bottle @ Alko arkadia
Pours hazy orange with medium head. Aroma is peat, alcohol, plums, vinegar and some dark fruits. Flavor is peat, some caramel, malts, bread and alcohol. A bit too much whisky like beer and alcohol bites too much.

500 ml bottle. Amber body with a disappearing tan head. Aroma has malt, dry fruit and hint of wood. Flavor is sweet malty, dry fruit, wood, balanced bitterness and some warming alcohol. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. A very nice one.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle #03365: Hazy, amber coloured, some floaties visible, off-white foamy layer, extremely gushing; sweetish fruity-vinous and tart-woody nose with a tinge of vanilla; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied, not soft; dryish fruity-woody finish with some hoppy bitterness and a whisky-like (?) alcohol-burn. Unharmonic and disappointing…

from Mondial de la Bière 2011, Strasbourg - hazy reddish-brown beer with a modest head retention; woody aroma with notes of vanilla and sour cherries; highly carbonated; full-bodied and pretty sweet, quite astringent; fizzy aftertaste of strawberries, pear and wood - quite hard to drink
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Kaatuu lasiin kuparinruskeana ja kirkkaana, vaahto on valkoinen, muhkea ja alkuun nopeasti katoava, mutta lopussa jää noin sormen levyinen kaistale pinnalle. Vaahto myös kuohuaa runsaasti ja pitää limsamaista ääntä, johtuu ilmeisesti hiilihapoista. Haju on todella monipuolinen ja "vaikea", siitä löytyy turpeisuutta, marjaisuutta, savuisuutta, puuta, omenaisuutta ja vanilijaa. Myös hieman alkoholia tuntuu. Tynnyri on todella tuonut aromia tähän. Maku on savuinen, marjainen, vanilijainen, puinen ja makeahko. Suutuntuma on hiilihappoinen ja lopussa hieman tahmaava, alkoholikin tuntuu. Kokonaisuutena tähän asti paras maistamani viskitynnyrissä kypsytetty olut, mutta en ylipäätään ole tällaisten fani. Olutmaisuus on peittynyt jo ehkä turhankin paljon ja viskin aromit ja maut työntyvät suuhun jo liiaksikin.
