Cosmic Echoes is the most ambitious blend to be assembled at Private Press. The final expression showcases a fusion of three stouts and two barleywines that were aged in five different types of oak barrels. Cosmic Echoes generates hypnotic reverberations of candied apricot, baking spice, milk chocolate ganache, English toffee, luxardo cherry, and crème brûlée. The experience holds you comfortably close while it simultaneously nudges your palate toward exploration.

Blend:
Axelrod (barrel #13) aged 13 months in Blanton's barrels.
DeJohnette (barrel #20) aged 11 months in Old Fitzgerald barrels.
Duke/Mahavishnu (barrel #27) aged 10 months in Weller barrels.
Mahavishnu (barrel #28) aged 10 months in Weller barrels.

Flaska från PP, batch 1. Ska vara 11,5%. Nästa batch som är starkare. Något mörkare brunsvart, liten beige krona. Toffee, tjärpastill, marsipan, likörpralin, lite underliggande fruktighet, typ körsbär, mycket fat. Märkbart lättare (relativt sett) efter Plato's Shadow och Rev/HA portern. Men fantastiskt gott. Mer stout än bw.

500ml bottle. Smooth, woody and oaky with some bourbon, caramel, toffee, syrup and hints of roastiness. Okay blend of BW and IS. Quite complex and nicely balanced.

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong dark chocolate, spice, fig, licorice, roast. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, boozy, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.
