COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This complex beer was brewed in cognac barrels that have contained cognac for at least 40 years. You will experience a mild alcohol aroma that is balanced by vanilla overtones coming from the wood and a fresh fruitiness reminiscent of apricots. The mouthfeel is velvety with flavors of honey coming through with every sip.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 20, 2012
Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy amber with a very lively but dissipating off-white head. Oddly unclean farty aroma, boozy too. Medium body, lively carbonation, caramllish, slightly woody with only a very vague suggestion of cognac. Finish is boozy and rough. 200812

sebletitje (5411) - Enghien, BELGIUM - AUG 12, 2012
Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Ben. Dorée/orangée; col blanc léger. Arôme reste très belge avec le cognac gagnant en présence sans pour cela dominer. Palais donne un peu plus de place au houblon, malté léger avec ce profile boisé/modéré de Cognac. En somme, la série reste agréable avec certains exemples où le barrel agin reste trop discret.
