Brasserie St. Germain has taken their barleywine, which is fermented with both ale and champagne yeasts, and, after 3 weeks of cold maturation, transferred the beer into cognac barrels for 6 months. The cognac character is complementary and not overwhelming, providing a delicate aroma and notes of apple, cider, and dried fruits while allowing the malty and hoppy character of the base barleywine to remain.

On-tap at Mugs Alehouse, Brooklyn, NY
A: The beer is hazy dark brown in color and has a touch of red hues. It poured with a short off white head.
S: Light aromas of yeast are present in the nose along with hints of apple cider.
T: The taste follows the smell and has flavors of apple cider along with hints of yeast.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer seems to be a little light for a barleywine. It's somewhat yeasty and seems more like a hybrid between a saison and a barleywine.
Serving type: on-tap
