De Molen IJsbock Oakchips in Cognac

Brewed by Brouwerij de Molen
Style: Eisbock
Bodegraven, Netherlands

On tap at Borefts BF 09. Very cognac-y. It is good, but maybe not as good as the 2 other versions. Some toffee and some goodish orange fruit.

Rating 1300. Tap @ Borefts Beer Festival 2009. Hazy ruby red - brown colour, off-white lacings. Aroma of sweet cognac and fruits. Flavour of sweet malts, cognac, oak, caramel. Lovely.

On tap at BBF. Nice brown body. Nose quite oaky with malts. Nice sweet taste of oaks and cocnac. Oaky and bitter finish. Seriously high ABV and I just loved it. My favorite of the three.

On tap at 1st BBF at De Molen. Beer poured a hazy brown body with a light character in the middle of the body. Slight off white head. The aroma gives a strong oak character along with some malt and fruit notes. There is a very present cognac character in the taste and wonderful dried fruit notes. After all of that there is still a hop bitterness that lasts on the tongue.

Had this at the Borefts Beer Festival, De Molen Brewery, Bodegraven, Netherlands 30-10-09 I had only a very small sample of this courtesy of Ken? Cheers mate. Much better than the Simcoe version, pours mid brown bit murky, quite fruity once again the alcohol is very well disguised, the cognac really does show, good stuff. A8 A3 F7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Tap @ 1ste Borefts. A red/brown colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of strong oak with fruits, malts and some vanilla. The taste of strong wood and cognac. There are fruits and sweets. Flavours of caramel and alcohol. The aftertaste is sweet with oak and a little bitter. A little to much, but a great beer.

Tap @ 1st BBF, De Molen.
Pours muddy brown with a small film head. Aroma has lots of cognac, sweet caramel, oak, some herbal notes and raisins. Alcohol as well. Highish carbonation, nice dry and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet, caramel, some sharp alcohol and lots of cognac. There is really a lot of cognac going on in there... Still fairly drinkable.

Draught at 1st Borefts Beer Festival at De Molen. Hazy orange brown coloured with a small beige head. Sweet aroma of caramel, dried fruits, burnt wood, alcohol and cognac. Sweet flavour of caramel, dried fruits, wood, cognac and alcohol. Sweet and warming alcoholic finish.
