Bottle. Black body with a thin beige head that slowly fades. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of nutty malt and milk chocolate. Flavour of rocky road and liquorice. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Overall, it’s quite sweet and easy to drink for the ABV.

Dark brown, not much head. The cognac aroma is prominent, with a bit of vanilla, light chocolate accents, and a hint of chile. On the palate, its soft and oily, light chile, a bit of cacao, a touch of coffee. The naga leaves a bit of heat on the lips, subtle though. The cognac rounds everything out in the finish, but with a splash of alcoholic warmth. Extra strong, with that little bit of intensity above and beyond your average flavoured impy.

Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 24/03/2029). Dark brown with minimal beige head. Feint chillies in the background, but shows up nicely on the nose, brandy underlay throughout, boozy, but enjoyable.

330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of dark sugars, a touch of cognac, a touch of cocoa and coffee. Flavour is very rich, with the alcohol well-hidden, with notes of cognac, plenty of dark sugars, cocoa, a tiny hint of chilis, and maybe very faint coffee. Again, the booze is well-hidden, and there's a nice cohesion and complexity to this. Good.

19th January 2022 Opaque dark brown beer, a few tan bubbles don't come close to forming a head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. The dark malts feel thin but bring a decent dark chocolate. The mid is spicy which is both alcohol and adjunct borne. Trace of vanilla barrel into a boozy finish. It's a fruity boozy finish but only mildly Cognac in character. Some barrely bitterness on the very last. Gum numbing linger and a warming afterglow. Actually gets a lot better as it warms up, the Cognac sings a bit louder.
