Bottle shared at Mikkeller bar. Pours hazy amber with a bubbly tan head. Aroma of grand marnier, orange, citrus, dark fruits, alcohol, caramel. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate bitter, the bitterness really subdued from the normal non-BA version. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Great, but prefer the original.

75 cl bottle @ wPBF’13, BBE 11.10.2016
Aroma has rice, some American hops and resin. Flavour is sweet with malt, raisins, some oaky notes and caramel. Too sweet, the basic Boogoop was a lot of better. At least when fresh.

750 ml bottle @ WPBF 2013.
Pours a dark amber colour with a white head. Aroma of caramel malts, grass and some sweet boozy wood-like notes. Flavour of caramel malts, alcohol, grassy hops, booze, wood and sourish notes. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and high carbonation. Not very balanced, as all of these Grand Marnier beers. Too boozy as well.

Bottled:
Pours dark brown with a creamy head. Aroma is caramel, booze and blue cheese. Malty toffee flavour with notes of caramel, nuts and raisins. Long alcohol bitter finish. Overpriced and overboozed.

Pours red ambder with low off white head Aromas of butterscotch, resin, alcohol, oak Full bodied, very sweet, low carbonatiom, low to med bitter Butterscotch, oak, licourize, tropical fruits.

Bottle. Dark ruby, thick beige head, lacing. Aroma: malty, floral, soapy, orange + zest, marzipan, spruce. Taste: pine, floral, bitter, malty, dry, peach, orange, grapefruit, vanilla. Full bodied, maybe moussy. I thought this was going to be more classy.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Fruity smell with both dried and ripe fruit also some booze. Similar taste with the addition of raspberries. Complex beer but still fairly easy to drink despite the high ABV.
