Commercial Description:
Rader Ambrée is the subtle aromatization of a beer brewed in the ancient-way, re-fermented in its bottle, with a distillate of grain which has undergone a prolonged ageing process in oak casks. The primary fermentation is made with the same selected grains for the mash tubbing and the distillate. The distillate, aged in oak casks, is then added to the mash tub just before the re-fermentation in the bottle.

Pours a cloudy caramel colour with huge head. Pleasant fruity and "oaky" aroma. Slight initial bitter taste, sweetening as you drink it. Nicely done.

Brown bottle, 33 cl, best before 01/2010, via Importations Privées Bièropholie, savoured on July 10 2008: eye: dark caramel, hazy, suspended matter, lots of tan head made up of rather small bubbles and that looks like melted ice cream as it falls, good lacing, no effervescence; nose: alcohol and spices pierce the head, caramelized malt, coriander, lightly stale, yeast, light orange; mouth: lots of caramelized malt, lightly stale, alcohol, light hops, light Cointreau, finale in caramelized malt with a hint of pepper and alcohol, rather sweet, slightly bitter, not much carbonation (feels almost dead), medium body, hide its alcohol very well; overall: disappointing FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 33 cl, meilleure avant 01/2010, via Importations Privées Bièropholie, savourée le 10 juillet 2008; œil : caramel foncé, voilée, matière en suspension, mousse fauve importante formée de bulles petites, bonne dentelle qui ressemble à de la crème glacée fondue lorsqu’elle tombe, pas d’effervescence; nez : alcool et épices percent la mousse, en rétro-olfaction, malt caramélisé, coriandre, légèrement éventée, levure, léger orange; bouche : gros malt caramélisé, légèrement éventée, alcool, léger houblon, léger Cointreau, finale en malt caramélisé avec pointe de poivre et d’alcool, plutôt sucrée, texture crémeuse, très légèrement amère, peu carbonatée (j’écrirais même qu’elle est « morte »), corps moyen, cache très bien son alcool; en résumé : déçu

Cloudy orange-copper with a creamy off-white head that lingers for a good while. Sweet malty initial taste with hints of Molasses. Yeasty finish. Good tasting beer.

Bottle, 10.5%. Spicy, citric aroma. The flavour is quite yeasty. The alcohol is quite apparant in the flavour and aftertaste. There is a strange plasticky bitterness in the aftertaste somehow. Must be from the jenever.
