Pour at the 2026 Festival Of Dark Arts. Black pour, syrupy, slick. Boozy aroma, roasty, barrels, sweet. Cognac pops out in the taste, fruity, roasty, swet and boozy AF.

Dark brown, inky, no head. Soft, sweet, a little fruity, the cognac/armagnac barrels bringing unique complexity.

Shared with Josh at Festival of Dark Arts 2026 in Astoria, OR.
Intense oak, bold, sweet, chocolate. Finishes with toasted barrel and whiskey notes. Nice.
