330 ml bottle. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of oaky vinous cognac, chocolate, vanilla, and slick roasted malts, Flavors follow same with continued emphasis on the oaky vinous cognac but with chocolate also more prominent and thicker, plus some graham cracker and dark caramel notes.

Bottle from Hopduvel. Cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of cognac, wood, fondant (sauce), leather, shoe polish, teriyaki. Taste has sweet fig, prune & pear in a thick dark-chocolatey, pecan-nutty malt body with a hint of umami black olive and early cognac. Soft earthy hops in the finish, lots of cognac present now, next to a woody effect and a touch of coffee. Not necessarily boozy cognac, but very dominant and battling with the malt profile. Full body, thin oily texture, soft carbonation. Another decent addition to Brambrass' BA range, but just slightly less well-structured.

Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met schuim. Smaak is krachtig warm met veel cognac en bitterzoet. Verder nog wat druiven, wat vijgen en donker fruit om het af te maken. Voor mij een heel goed bier.
