Draft @ Beavertown Extravaganza'17. Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé virant sur moka clair, léger doré au verre. Arôme offre un bouquet plaisant de fruits noirs, levure belge avec de fins éléments ester, l'effet barrique et boisé ainsi que du pinot confèrent une belle dimension au bouquet. Retrouve plus un effet de triple. Palais est malté, caramel, léger sur pointe de chocolat qui perce bien avec un fini gardant des éléments de levure belge tout comme l'effet de certains esters. Fruité noir rappelant la date et la prune confite et de bons éléments de triple. L'ajout de barrique est subtil et apporte un excellent caractère à la bière. Malté sur note caramel revient sur la fin.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled draft @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 1. Black dark brown, solid head. Nose is fascinating mix of umami, soy sauce & massive vinous character, tobacco. Taste is unique alcoholic, vinous, boozy syrup but also molasses, coffee, low soy sauce. Body is thick syrup, boozy. Unique, fascinating, very neat.

Tap. Black color with white head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, liquorice, just a touch of wildness (of which I'd expect more from such a barrel, but then again, Dieu du Ciel knows how to use barrels in a restrained way). Taste is chocolate, coffee, a bit vanilla. Medium carbonation, viscous oily mouthfeel. Very nice!

Bottle from KBL. Nose of grapes, cherry, chocolate, raisins. Amazing nose. Sweet fruit flavor, cocoa, berries, grape, some oak and a touch of cardboard. A bit thin and watery in the body which means it doesn’t live up to the great nose, but still very nice.

Bottle - Vinous notes, dark fruit and some booze. Jet brown with a small beige head. Nice vinous dark notes, dark malts, bitterness and a long finish. Very vinous, some chocolate and a long finish. Glad it’s a small bottle.

Bottle [from trade with "Youri" -sorry dude, your last name in French, just too hard for me to look up at the end of the tasting- @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Joes. Opaque black color, small brown head. Aroma is malts, heavy alcohol initially, a hint of wood and vanilla and a touch of ash in the distance. After a while the pinot noire really comes through. Taste malts, clearly pinot noir (or at least red wine) in there and a slight touch of alcohol with some dark fruits. Lovely. One of the best, if not the best red wine barrel aged beers I’ve ever had. Actually, this is the best red wine BA I’ve ever had. Superb!

Bottle @ benzai. Pitch black colour with a small off-white head. Smells very sweet, syrup, plum, boilies.. Makes me want to go out and catch fish. Tastes sweet, stuff you catch trout with, or carp, raisins. Weird body..tastes kinda thin even though you know it has quite high abv. Soft carbo.
