Green apple, dusty furniture (cognac!), wet wood, old raisin. Sweet green apple, raisin, caramel. Woody finish, herbal hops, dried fruits, boozy alcohol (brandy). Decent sipper, cognac is quite dominant here.

From the Stacks stand, appropriately. Vanilla, ripe peach & melon, pear, lychee. Sweet melon, pear, vanilla, dough. Some bitter citrus pith. Oddly mellow nose, not really what I was expecting, but deserving of a rerate.

Cherry cola, jaffa cake, 'Petit Gervais', red candy, dried blood orange peel. Very sweet cherry, strawberry, red candy, some bitter blood orange. Mainly sweet in the finish with warimng fruit jenever-like alcohol. Oof, I had high hopes given the Stouts that Verduyn brought to the festival, but this was nowhere near that quality.

From the Stacks stand. Bourbon, green apple, banana, chocolate sauce, dark fudge. Sweet date, raisin, chocolate sauce, dark fudge. Black-peppery hops, wood, spices, heating bourbon alcohol. Full body, oily-syrupy texture. Intense and moreish, just a bit too chaotic in a way.
