750ml waxed and capped bottle into a BBT snifter.
Pours pitch black and dense. Thick, oily legs. No head, no lace. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, and CognacBoozy with a mellow chocolate and fudge presence. Beer opens milk chocolate, molasses, anise, raisin, and a touch of sweet soy sauce. There's a coarseness from the Cognac barrels. More molasses, some roasted malt, and coarse cocoa powder in the middle. Honey and syrup in the finish with plenty of barrel and booze throughout. Boozy and slightly smoky aftertaste. Body is medium to full with moderate to low carbonation. A touch coarse on the palate and rough going down. Long, lingering, filmy finish.
Decent but the Cognac barrels don't do it for me here. It adds a roasty, coarse dimesion that I think actually takes away from the beer.
