75cl bottle, thanks Brad! Pours a dark hazy orange. Nose of peaches, yeast, melon, and candi sugar. Flavor is nice...the oak is very subtle, but just kisses the finish with a wonderful, silky dry quality. The finish is just beautiful. I would have liked more complex layers, but it’s just a great beer, I think certainly better than the regular Tsjeeses.

bottle, pours dark orange with red hints, frothy off white head, some sediment. Aromas are huge, slight lambic barnyard, light citris notes, and candy sugar. Oh my.........this is heaven in a glass, the mouth is perfect. Subtle with a light carbonation. There is a definate wood flavor but it’s mellow, lots of sweet flavors, peach, white grape, some sugar, and a slight bitter orange in the lingering finish. This is a treat.

Flaske: Mørkeorange uklar øl med et kæmpe skumhoved, og en smule gusher. Masser af sedimenter i øllen hvilket har trukket ned på udseende og mundfylde. Smagen er fantastisk, med et helt vidunderligt bid på tungen. Tydelig belgisk krydret og gæret træder også frem. Spændende øl.

Bottle. Cloudy orange with a dense and foamy white head. Aromas of spices, bread, wood and malt. The flavour is spicy with a fruity sweetness and notes of banana. All ended by a lightly sour woody freshness. Soft and and warming mouthfeel..

From 75cl bottle - Beautiful slightly hazy deep amber body, fine sparkle, creamy off white head that could last a little longer; Very fine nutty yeast soft nose with an almost Calvados sharpness and aroma accompanying, very nice; Very soft textured body with a big very soft carbonation, super balanced, could be a little more powerful; Medium long finish with a very special mild alcohol burn, again the Calvados barrel is there. Very interesting and drinkable beer, somehow the barrel or age has taken away the spicy touch (which I like a lot) from the hop and spices in the normal version. I have tasted the small bottle from this year (2008) and find it even better, just havent had the time to rate it yet.
