Enjoyed the aroma, smells like cognac as advertised. Pours a nice ruby red, slightly cloudy, fairly large tan head. Flavour doesn’t deliver. Yeasty, flat and too heavy on the cognac. A bad idea that proved some things shouldn’t be mixed.

Aug 14, 2008 I found the Cognac to be the stronger of two tastes in this one. Poured an amber colour. Aroma I suppose is that of cognac which I am not very familiar with. I sensed a lot of sweet fruit, with some lightly roasted malts. Flavour about the same. This one was interesting but overall I can’t say I liked it. When it comes to beer, it’s great to experiment with bizarre styles, but this is too bizarre. I’ll give it a fair rating though.

Aug 9, 2008 29.07.2004, 0,33l bottle. The colour is golden amber brown. The smell is like the taste: Strange. The beer is dominated by a smell and taste of cognac. When I close my eyes it feels like plastic clay, but there is something in it that I like. definetly something to try again.

May 31, 2008 Tashi’s house, 28/05/08. Bottle courtesy of Mes, as if the Crocodile wasn’t bad enough. There’s a good reason that people don’t bring cognac and beer together. It’s a BAD IDEA! Doesn’t look bad, but smells of rotten apples and mouldy cherries. "Tastes of tinfoil" as Dave stated. The god-awful flavour clings and will not leave your mouth. Save yourself the trouble of hunting down a bottle by grinding up some Parma violets and sprinking them into the juice from a can of spoiled tinned fruit. It’ll taste the same. Yuck.

May 28, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle thanks to me, yes I am stupid.
Nice red amber colour with a good white head. Aroma of dead apples and cherries. Flavour is, as Dave pointed out, full of tin foil. This is utterly vile. I could be sick very quickly on this. Shockingly bad.
EPIC FAILAGE.
