look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25

11.2 oz bottle was poured into a snifter.

Appearance: This beer poured a one finger head that has reduced to a thin layer. It is an amber orange hue with no clarity and bubbles coming up through the glass.

Smell: Vanilla, spice, oak, and fruitiness.

Taste: Same as above with some apples, pears, grapes, booze, and some bitterness in the end. I am not crazy about cognac, bit this is good.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, low to medium bodied, medium carbonation, boozy, a little burn, and easy to sip

Overall: Pretty nice beer. Once you get past the cognac flavor it's all good.

Fantastic beer. Pours hazy gold. Aroma is warm and mild citrus. The congac barrel aging imparts a delicious black cherry flavor. The alcohol is a bit hot but the mouthfeel helps it recover.
