4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Bottle, thanks to Jeffo, 11/26/2012. Pours black, fine light mocha head fades to surface haze, thin ring of viscous lacing. Aroma of doughy dark chocolate, with lovely, fruity cognac, orange noticeable, vanilla coffee, oak, a bit smoky. One of the nicest cognac expressions I’ve encountered from a barrel aged beer. Taste is sweet, cognac notes over dark chocolate, wood and heavy dark roast, bitter finish to balance, some heat, boozy cognac aftertaste. Medium palate, perhaps even a bit thin to support the flavors fully. Not without flaws, but really nice nonetheless. Me gusta.

Black, hardly any head. Very strong and alcoholic imperial stout. some roasted malts and coffee in its taste, but alcohol is most present. Oily texture, low carbo.

Tap @ borefts beer festival 2012. Seems to have been one of the later ones, therefore the short rating: Black with a dark brown head. Thick and majestic. Chocolate, licorice and cognac. Pretty prominent alcohol.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bouteille 33cl, bottled 05-09-2012.
Brune foncée, col beige-café au lait, laissant un léger filament doré sur le verre.
Arôme est malté-chocolaté moyen avec un alcool surabondant et un bouquet tourbe qui ne me rappelle pas le Cognac mais plus un single malt Islay. L’effet vient peut-être du niveau alcoolisé de la bière.
Palais reste ici très alcoolisé avec ce dernier qui réchauffe toute la gorge et la poitrine. Cela contribue à dénaturaliser le profil de la bière qui de ce fait ne retient que ce alcool brûlant. Le malté reste présent, profil épais avec notes de caramel, grillé, pour un palais boisé - sec et poussiéreux qui pointe aussi sur des notes de tourbe. La fin laisse des notes collantes aux lèvres avec un côté pomme cara qui ici se rapproche plus du Cognac.
Pas mauvaise, mais vraiment trop d’alcool pour être appréciée.

taken from notes - tap @ Borefts 2012 - massive round and sweet stout, some metally notes, but lots of sweet alcohol and woody notes, next to the dark chocolate. Nice.

A hazy dark brown to black pour. Aroma is malty, cognac, chocolate, wood, some dark fruit and liqourice. Taste is almost the same...a bit sweet and heavy on the cognac. Overall a nice IRS.
