Like the Franco-Belgian Military Accord of 1920, this beer unites a Belgian-style Imperial Stout and one-year aging in a French Cognac oak foudre, coalescing into inviting aromas of dark roast coffee & dark chocolate, cognac, black cherries, wood and hints of molasses, homemade licorice and slight smoke, followed by welcoming favors of espresso roast coffee, prominent dark chocolate & black cherries, plums, French oak tannins and cognac. Hop bitterness, aromas and flavors are not readily perceived but provide back stage structure to balance the roast malts and oak tannins. The pleasant, medium body, gentle warming and dry finish of this opaque/black imperial stout perfectly suits it for a snifter on a cold, midwestern night.
