3.9 Bottle from 2019. Pours dark black. Cognac is very strong in the nose, slightly overpowering. Tastes of cognac, oak, dark chocolate. It's good but barrel is a little too strong to really enjoy.

4.1 250 mL bottle. Black, with a little transparency at the edges. Smells of fruity barrel notes. Oak, cognac, roasted malt. Tastes very similar. Fruity cognac up front. Oak, roasted malt, earthy tones, and more of the fruity barrel notes. Licorice malt flavor through the back end. Medium heavy with low carbonation. A delicious stout. The barrel is a little strong. I think I have a greater appreciation for the stout behind the barrel more than the barrel.

4.4 Flaska från SB. Årgång 2017. Svart vätska med litet ljusbrunt skum. Doft av söt honung, kaffe, choklad och konjak. Kraftig, rund smak med härlig sötma och fyllighet. Fantastiskt bra!

4.4 Pours black with low latte brown head. Aromas and taste of oak, coffee, leather, caramel, hints of red apples, asphalt. Lovely creamy mouthfeel. Extremely well balanced

4.2 LCI. From the tap @Borefts2018. Great imp stout, full flavoured but i’m missing the cognac.

4.0 Smakprov örebrewfest. Nästintill svart vätska. Doft av rostad malt, mörk choklad och sirap. Murrig smak av chokladkaka, honung, fat och lite knäck. Värmande spritig ton med lätt torr avslutning

3.9 Provsmakning på Örebrewfest, Örebro. Svart med ljusbrunt skum. Fyllig munkänsla med tydlig cognac.

4.3 Fat på Närke Kulturbryggeri, Kladdkakans dag. Från 2017, 13% abv. Kolsvart med tjusig, krämig mörkbrun skumpuck. Toner av tjärpastill, bröstkaramell, ek, tanniner, enbär, viol och krämig lakritskola. Tydlig fatkaraktär med syrliga inslag från tanniner. Konjaken inte specifikt framträdande, även om den finns med i smakbilden. Tycker inte den skiljer sig markant från de andra varianterna. Gott som alltid.

3.7 Aroma of booze, apples, light smoke, raisins, chocolate. Taste of chocolate, oak, raisins, licorice vanilla. Very dark fruit forward with woody complexity.

4.2 Aromat mocno koniakowy, dużo czoerwonych owoców, przejrzałych owoców, wiśni, suszonych owocó, bardzo mocno owocowo-koniakowy. Smak także intensywnie koniakowy, bardzo fajny, alkoholowy, dużo owocó śliwki, winnych nut, suszonych ciemnych owoców, dużo kakao z lekką palonością. Średnio gęste, niska goryczka, bardzo intensywne aromaty.

3.9 Draft at Borefts 2018. Aroma of licorice, chcolate, booze and medicinal cognac. Flavor of licorice, cognac chocolate, grapes, malt, oak and honey. Nice, but doesn't live up to the insane hype.

4.1 From tap at Borefts 2018. Roasty aroma with chocolate and tangy cognac, wood, dark fruits, cognac is a bit sharp, some alcohol, dark roasted malt. Flavour is bittersweet, body is full. Posh brew, though the cognac was a bit sharper than I expected.

4.4 Gravity. Black color with beige head. Aroma is cognac, grapey, black chocolate, very balanced. Taste is chocolate, light cognac wood, quite the booze. Silky mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Extremely well-made, although boozy!

4.0 Sampled from cask at Borefts 2018. Pitch black with a beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty aroma of chocolate, nougat, praline and cognac. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of praline, dark chocolate, licorice, vanilla and cognac, followed by a long, rather roasty-bitter, boozy finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice, but quite boozy.
