Beer Geek Brunch Weasel Barrel Aged Cognac

Stout - Imperial / Double Oatmeal

The recipe for this beer is as simple as a child’s finger painting: you take one of the world’s highest rated beers – that’s the one called Brunch – and then you let it splash about in a totally fresh cognac barrel for three months. After that it’s a question of out of the barrel, into a bottle and off you go. This beer pours black with a creamy beige head. Aroma is packed with notes of caramel, coffee, vanilla, wood and cognac booziness. On the palate is pleasantly sweet with balanced bitterness. Flavor is also boozy, with hints of oak, vanilla, coffee and dark chocolate, followed by a malty and oaky finish.

From the BA archives. Most expensive beer by the ounce that I've ever purchased. Worth it.

2016-10-18, 330ml bottle from L'Office des Grand Crus. Pour pitch black with a tall tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, bitter coffee and cognac. Strong alcohol feel follow by roasted malt and rich coffee, not as bitter as my nose suggest.

In between oxidation there’s still some heat character from the barrel and coffee powder. I won’t say it survived so many years but it’s not that bad.

⏲️ 2 drink up - part 330. 1+ hour ago at 05-ish when watching olympics. Woke up at 04:20 😱. Old bottle (6+ years ?) from CPH (CBC / MBCC). Price of 100 DKK still on the cap, date gone. Not a fan of Cognac but this 🍺 is smooth and ☕️ is still present.
