Draft @ Brickstore. Pours a clear dark orange with little white head. Nose is very boozy with light fruits, floral, honey sweet. Taste is white wine/ light feremented fruits, sweet, tripel-like, fruity, a bit of booze, vanilla. Palate is silky/creamy almost. Nice brew and the barrel certainly adds to the brew and mouthfeel.

Une bouteille de 50 cl partagée avec ma femme après un après-midi à se faire rôtir sur une plage de Miami. Un liquide doré et presque brillant. Un anneau de mousse comme simple décoration. Un nez qui me fait penser à cette grande ukrainienne que nous croisons sur la plage : un mélange de sueur, de sucre blond, de crème solaire à la noix de coco et à la banane. Un intéressant fantasme, sans plus. Un goût beaucoup moins féminin. Une robustesse de l’alcool et une virilité des sucres. Un aspect boisé qui me fait penser que ce grand cru s’est baigné dans un fût de bourbon. Des traces de coco et de bonbons à la banane. Quelque chose comme une piña colada sur l’acide. Des fruits tropicaux dans un alcool qui magane. Bref, des saveurs qui sont beaucoup moins intéressantes que les arômes. Heureusement, une bouche assez fine soumise à des bulles actives. Malheureusement, une texture huileuse et légèrement collante. Une finale parfumée par la barrique, boisée et sucrée, chaude et beaucoup trop musclée pour ma femme et moi.

This beer pours a bright golden color with a medium light beige head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Notes of oak, grainy malt and spices. Full-bodied with flavors of oak, honey, spices and vanilla. The finish is oaky and vinous. Pretty good

2013.05.06 - North Coast Grand Cru - 500ml bottle in goblet glass.
Aroma: a bit of fruit, like apple or presumably the agave, a bit grainy like wheat or a saison.
Appearance: Pours around 10 or 11 on SRM scale. Not a lot of carbonation or head but it’s a bit old, and ther is still a decent small amount.
Taste: Very nice. Starts off a bit like a saison like Weyerbacher Seventeen, even some hint of pepper... Fades to tasty fruits with no citrus or tang. Nice dry-ish ending.
Palate/Mouthfeel: mostly light but a bit sugary or creamy.
Aroma 7/10, Appearance 4/5, Taste 8/10, Palate 4/5, Overall 17/20

Bottle.
Clear light brown with a small white head. This was quite a special one. Sweet with dried fruit, toffee, malt and some alcohol. Not a bad beer but on the heavy side.

@Gyllenbock: en ganska söt och fruktig doft och smak. En mycket distinkt karaktär. Mycket speciell.
