Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with light retention and light lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate notes and light coconut notes with some barrel-aging notes is quite enticing. Taste is a good mix of sweet chocolate notes with some faint coconut notes and light Cognac presence with some woody notes is also perceptible. Body is pretty full but lacking some creamy texture notes with some good carbonation and lights warming alcohol notes. Enjoyable but a little bit too thin for the style and somewhat overly sweet.

Pours black and, because the brewery used limited carbonation, there is no head or lacing. The nose is initially pretty brutish, but the booze disappates enough to create a very pleasant scent.
The taste is cognac (obviously), along with vanilla and dark chocolate. Feels somewhat oily and needs more carbonation, but it's still very good.
