Bottled@Yespr's blindtasting. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is cardboard, mild fruits, some very cardboardy notes as well. Flavour is cardboard, fruits, mild spices, some wooden notes as well as sourness and mild oxidised notes. Too bad with the cardboardy notes...

This review is from notes that I have previously taken. Clear copper colored w/ a nose like port and syruppy, brandylike flavors. This one will warm you. A great beer to sip on a winter day

Amber colour with a small white foam. Stunning and really complex aroma of acicidt from black cherries, red wine, vanilla, figs, wood and alcohol. Warming flavour of oak, cherries, figs, red currant, apples and brandy. Long rewarding aftertaste of alcohol, toffee, wood and alcohol. Damn good beer from one of the best breweries in the world!

This is one of the few beers that I've seeked out that delivered more than I was expecting. The odd thing is that my reason for not expecitng more from this beer was that I had had the regular Stille Nacht and wasn't impressed. This, on the other hand, is AMAZING. The color is a nice apple cider and amber with good clarity. Likely the age fo the beer had allowed the yeast to really stick to the bottom because it never got cloudy even toward the end. Nice glow. Aroma: Some spice, cotton candy, cider vinegar, alcohol. I know I mention the vinegar, but it doesn't show up in the flavor and is only a small part at the very end of the aroma. It actually adds to the quality of the aroma instead of detracting. The flavor is nicely malty, toffee and caramel. Very fruity like cherries and apples. Underneath you can actually taste the wood of the cask. Slightly winey. I'd put it easily in my top five. The guy I split the bottle with agreed. If I could find cases of this, I'd buy them. Wow.

Light brown color. Medium head. Aroma is malty, honey and orange. Malty and somewhat thick. Texture is thick and somewhat oily. It very reminiscent of Grand Marnier. Very smooth. Very sweet and orangish. Great sipping beer. The 12% alcohol is evident with it oiliness and it tummy warming, but it not harsh at all. VERY nice. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Poured a golden color with an orange hue and a white head with beautiful lacing. Vanilla, vinous (certainly from the bordeaux casks). Oak, and bordeaux are present in the taste accompanied by a tongue biting warming alcohol.

Pours with an amber gold body topped by a medium thick white fizzy head that disappears quickly and leaves some lace on the glass. Slightly sweet yet mostly sour vinous aroma. Sweet fruity vinious flavor with malty accents and sour notes. Medium to full bodied, slightly oily yet dry, with a tingle from carbonation and a slight warming sensation.
