dark brown. Thin head. Dark malt, umami, cocoa, and the cognac barrel is actually quite strong here, but not adding refinement. The base has some fruitiness, some alcohol, the cognac comes across heavy. That base could be good, but not with this treatment, and it's really not integrated. Most of these have been better.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is very boozy, with hot cognac, brown sugar, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is hot and chaotic, with lots of boozy cognac barrels, dark dried fruits, and brown sugar. The cognac character is rather boozy and lacking elegance/complexity, though the base is alright. Not hitting the right notes for me, but it’s alright.

Poured from 500mL bottle side x side with Blend I (bottled 03/23). Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Light cognac, dried dark fruits, thinner-med bodied, some booziness, considerably prefer other blends. Better than Blend I, but not by much. Okay.
