Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry caramelized malt notes with some light Cognac barrel-aged notes and some light woody notes. Taste is also a great mix of dry caramelized malt flavors with some Cognac barrel notes and light oak. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable bitter and barrel-aging does bring out more flavors. .
