65 cl bottle @ FF tasting. Rated on 13.03.2021. 12,5%. Aroma has raisins, caramel malt and fruity hops. Flavour has grapefruity hops, tropical fruits, caramel malt. Sweet liquor notes in the background - cognac? Too sweet and stuffy - probably could have been better without the barrel. Hides the ABV well though. Rated on 2021-03-13.

Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2019 on 03/16/2019. Hazy mahogany color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly to a sparse outer ring. Sparse small patches of lace. Aroma of cognac, vanilla, oak and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of oaky cognac, vanilla, roast malt and fruit. The finish is oaky with a cognac aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
