Commercial Description:
Medium copper in color and with a suprisingly crisp finish, this beer is meant to be savored like a fine cognac.

Shared this with a friend awhile back. I am glad I did, because I do not think I could have made it through it all by myself. First thing I notice is the low amount of carbonation, but has some ripe fruitiness and a high level of malty sweetness, and a bit of vanilla that sticks around leading into a sticky mouthfeel. Could be a little more hoppy to add some much needed bitterness in the finish.

A lot of caramel in the aroma, but also with dark fruit. The beer is copper brown. Flavor of caramel, but it has a weird finish perhaps a bit of acidly.

Hazy deep amber with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, ripe fruits, caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet fruity flavor with hoppy, caramel and fruity notes. Ends bitter.

(Bottle 100 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Pours a very cloudy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Vinous port aroma with a light tartness. Quite full-bodied with sweet caramel and overripe fruit. Low carbonation though and a very subdued bitterness. 260708

Bottled - tasted blind An amber veer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also an acidic edge. The flavor old with notes of over ripe fruit and oxidation, and the mouthfeel is sticky.
