Chalumeaux with the 12 oz share. Much thanks. Nice deep red color, thin bubbly white head. Aroma is rich with toffee, vanilla, light brandy character Flavor is pretty nice, vanilla is noticed with a mild woody hint, The barrel aging is no doubt the start in this show. The base amber is just lightly noticed. It shows a light warming after the sip without a harsh alcohol burn.

Make no mistake this is a beast. Easy to drink but should be sipped.

An interesting brew. Drinks similar to a barley wine. Sweet malts and darknfruit nites. Soft brandy, brown sugar, caramel. Full bodied. Finish is boozy but not hot. Enjoyable.
