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.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Clear amber, lasting thin beige head. Bit of woodiness, some syrupy malt. It’s got some decent malt and toffee, bit sweet, got a bit of mustiness on the finish. Not wonderful to be honest.

Dark bronze color with scads of fish food floating about. A few cm. of off white foam on top. Decent lace. A mild shaking convulsion when first sniffed. Between the big sweetness and the alcohol a quick, quiver/shake overtook me. Stewed raisins, fermenting pears, some light spice all in the mix. Strong fruit flavors awash in light alcohol. HInts of caramel and spice. Spice as much from the alcohol then from the yeast. Light oak backdrop. This was meant for a cold night by the fire. Quick light and bubbly feel. Stomach and back of the throat is starting to warm. A bit too sweet and more alcohol than needed (IMHO). Stewed fruit keep coming to mind.
