COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
About a year ago two random cognac barrels showed up on our loading dock. Cellarman Marty dubbed these barrels "High There!" and "Dear John" and topped them off with Institutionalized Barleywine. The resulting brew has deep aromas and flavors of stone fruits, bourbon, molasses, toasted coconut and vanilla.

Draft on tap at the brewery tap room (Chicago, IL). Exciting to finally see those Cognac barrels get pulled. Pours a deeper decent hazed brownish hue, some copper deadened glow with a frothy tannish head atop. Decent ringer head remains mellow, decent lacing overall. Aromas are carmelized and sticky malts, toffee and apples meet some raisin, dark fruit, grapes and warmth. Subtle yet growing cognac, firm oak and vanillin saturate the senses. Fruitcake, bits of spice, biscuit and toast. Initial is fuller bodied, some punchy cognac spirit and heat, vanilla, sticky residual grape sugars, dark fruit. A dusting of cinnamon, firm graham cracker and biscuit, caramel sweetness lingers. Vanilla, vinous oak an warmth as the palate adjusts. Carmelized lingering malts, grapeskin and raisins. Biscuits and a bit of toffee, faint spice, warmth and good oaky life. The cognac here makes this a bit more punchy and warm than Straight Jacket, some cognac complexity, firm oak, dried and dark fruit. A bit tannic and dry, lingering sweet malt jabs at times, biscuit and caramel. Nice stuff, complex but well integrated barrel. Sticky nose offers more than meets the nose.

crossovert (9762) - Illinois, USA - APR 12, 2015
Draft. Hazed brown amber pour. Aroma is cognac, raisins, miniscule acetone, and caramel. Flavor is huge and sweet. Lots of barrel presence, some alcoholic heat, raisins and caramel. Not too cloying an extreme beer that tasked it to the limit but not too far.
