Garnet, Cognac Barrel-Aged Imperial Brown Ale, Rye River (Ireland) 9.5%, Bottled Oct 2019. . . Aroma: The aroma doesn’t jump out of the glass but it’s there. Quite a sweet aroma with lots of dark fruits: dried dates and figs, bruised red apples, fresh black cherry and blueberry, and maybe more in between. Beneath the fruit there is a fragrant almond/marzipan note with a touch of nutmeg and cinnamon. There is a lovely sweet caramel base aroma, toffee and fudge, with vanilla and milk chocolate as well. I think there is a slight touch of smoke in the background. Finally, a lovely and well integrated cognac aroma. I could smell this beer all day, beautiful! . . Taste: The first thing that hits me is this is silky smooth in texture, probably lower end of full bodied, but still luscious and inviting. Flavour builds nicely without being massively intense. Somewhat sweet with bruised red apples, some cherry and almond, giving way to dried dates and figs, lots of caramel and milk chocolate. Towards the finish the cognac comes in with a little alcohol heat, as well as a slight hint of coffee. Everything is well balanced, and this is very drinkable! . . Beautiful dark brown appearing black, luscious off-white head. 4.25/5.0. . . #craft #beer #craftbeer #brown #ale #brownale #barrelaged #ryeriverbrewingcompany @ryeriverbrewingco (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3Xhdzggc_/?igshid=g4os5dwrsjql
