Imperial Stout Aged in Cognac Barrels
A fantastic intersection of oak, spirit character, and decadent stout — and a special release for our 10th Anniversary!
Returning for the first time since 2020, and the seventh time ever, BOYD is our Imperial Stout aged extensively in cognac barrels. It's feisty and warming, with low bitterness, appropriately mild carbonation, notes of anise, brown sugar, figs, and subtle maraschino cherry.

Black with a small tan head, some lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel and sweet chocolate. Flavors of roasted malts, coffee and woody
Nice and smooth. My first beer of the fest and one of the better ones of the day.

The beer is black with a small tan head. Brown at the edges. The aroma has a big brown sugar note with a little bit of raisiny sweetness. Sugar cookie, molasses, mild roast. Pretty big vinous, cognac barrel note. Fairly sweet. Lots of barrel flavor. A little bit of acidity.

Draught@Moeder Lambic, Brussels. Black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some fruits, mild chocolate, alcohol and some slight wooden notes as well. Flavour is very similar, with the liquorice, alcohol and sweetish wooden notes making a good and tasty base for it.

2014 vintage courtesy of Snuffy. Aroma is really barrel forward and somewhat boozy. Quite a bit of cognac with light oak. Moderate chocolate notes with some light roast. Pours black with a fairly thick, somewhat small, dark mocha head that recedes to a thin film in the middle and along the edges. No lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is somewhat roasty with some light caramel notes. Moderate dark chocolate. Light oak with moderate alcohol notes. Some moderately strong, but nice cognac character. A bit boozy. Some medium bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium low carbonation. Medium low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a big, boozy stout with a lot of cognac character. Decent malt notes, but the barrel character overwhelms.

2018-12-08, bottle at Black Christmas 2018, vintage 2018, 11.4% ABV, 7-4-8-4-15
Black colour. Cognac and spirit aroma. Full bodied, strong dark chocolate flavour, liquorice, salty, a bit boozy.
Doesn't come together very well, but it's bold.
2015-06-30, tasting at Matt's, bottle 0432/2100, vintage 2014, 6-3-6-2-11=28
Black color with small head. Smells like a primitive imperial stout, roasted malts and a lot of phenol, but wait till the taste to feel the huge phenol wave; there are hints of chocolate and tobacco, and the boozy barrel aging. Burning final.
Very messy and clumsy.
