My 1000th RateBeer rate! 22 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Hazy dark amber with almost a finger of off-white head. cognac, caramel, dark fruit. Tastes of cognac, dark fruit, raisins, caramel. toffee, candied fruit. Full body with a dry finish. Low carbonation, thick syrupy mouthfeel. Cognac feels well integrated and not over the top. Pretty smooth for the ABV.

Bouteille 66cl @ RBBSG III, courtesy of Thirstybird. Cuivrée presque acajou, col moyen beige. Arôme est fruité noir rappelant les figues, malté modéré sur un léger caramel avec un bouquet Cognac très discret qui est presque imperceptible si ce n’est pour la description sur la bouteille. Palais est malté, caramel, léger Cognac (ici aussi ne brillant pas par sa présence), sec avec un fini raisin. Collant aux lèvres de sucre résiduel. Le niveau houblonné est un peu perdu dnas la masse avec juste qcq notes houblonnées nobles? ajoutant de l’amérisant.

Bottle @ RBBSG, 2014. Thanks Thirstybird! Hazy amber colour, beige foam. Very fruity nose with hoppy notes, honey and some cognac sweetness. Well balanced. Good!

650 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to thirstybird! Hazy amber. Sweet malts, caramel, caramel fruits, sweet brown sugar, slightly warming, light fruits, didn’t get cognac nor did anyone else if I am not mistaken. Enjoyable barley wine but I was hoping a bit for something more rich and excessive.

Bomber from Imbibe Wine bottled on 4/10/14. Nose is sweet vanilla toffee, golden raisins, light pecan notes, and some floral bits sweet and candilike. Cherry brown with a medium, heavy lacing, beige head. Flavor is sweet, fruity, and nutty with a bit of the cognac and some background bitterness. Very nice with the barrel aging!!!

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Cognac, toffee and dark caramel aromas. Full with sweet caramel and dark malt upfront turning to warming cognac in the lasting mildly bitter earth finish.

Bottle - Sweet caramel and booze. Cloudy amber with a thin beige head. Sweet plum, vinous, toffee and a sweet and tart finish. The booze is well masked and finish is quite light considering the bold taste. Sweetness is a bit over the top, but normal for the style.
