An American Barleywine aged in McCall Cognac Barrels for 11 months. We added some fresh nectarines over the summer and hit it with a splash of Brett Clausenii.

750 mL bottle poured into a snifter. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Deep reddish brown. Thin khaki collar but not much else.
Smell - Peachy aroma. Faint brett. Lots of caramel. Sweet fruity aroma, presumably from the barrel.
Taste - Sweet caramel and brandy liquor flavor. Much stronger brett presence. Fruitiness comes back in the end.
Mouthfeel - Big, but well carbonated. Hefty beer, very heavy.
Overall - I get all the components, but I don't love it. The brett is an odd addition.
