22 oz bottle. The beer is black with a small brown head. Lots of chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Relatively mild barrel influence but you do get some nice fruitiness. Berry, grape, a little bit of raisin. Sweet caramel and sweet brandy. Mild oak. More barrel in the taste. Lots of coffee and brandy. Mild burn. Nice fudge and fruity coffee base. Pretty smooth, pretty ok body to it. Solid but doesn’t stand out for me.

Bottle - Brandy aged. Pours opaque black, medium brown head, creamy and slow to dissipate, nice lacing. Aroma is coffee, nice espresso, mocha, brandy, vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter, coffee and brandy, mocha notes. Full body, creamy, a bit hot but otherwise solid.
