Cognac Barrel is an amber type beer worked with French oak wood and Cognac. The nose is woody, suave and the superb tan color is reminiscent of that of the famous spirit. Round, complex and rich, it appeals to all types of amateurs.

Tap. Deep amber color with fine-bubbled white head. Aroma is raisins, just a touch grapes, wood sugar, very fresh. Taste is woody, caramel, raisins, well-balanced. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Very balanced Barleywine, almost too balanced.

Bottle at a tasting, thanks guys! Oxidized metallic aroma. The same impression stretching into taste, albeit not so assertively. Lots of harsh bitterness though, grassy, earthy. Not exactly pleasant. 2,4 Rerate tap at Unorthodox. Much better on tap. Balanced, no off notes. Fully malty, hints of cognac. Abv hidden well. Very good.
