Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, a little sticky, more honey, brioche, ripe citrus. Quite nice actually.

bottle, rated April 2017 - Dark amber pour. Aroma of oak, caramel, dark fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet with wood, caramel, malt, and dark fruit. It's hard for it not to be a bit boozy at 13.5% but it works. Very good.

Light haze on this orange - amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Malts are light and dry. Thin creamy sweetness, trace of unsweet caramel. Mild spice. The cognac is obvious but quite smooth. Mild dried fruits but quite vibrant in flavour. More spice in the semi dry finish. Hides the abv fairly well.
