The HUGE chocolate notes are mind-blowing. Tons of vanilla!<\/p>\n<p>T &#8211; Chocolate and coffee beans up front with molasses. MIddle is nice oaky cognac and butterscotch candies. Finish is roasty and laced with vanilla and cane syrup.<\/p>\n<p>M &#8211; Big body, uber sweet and loaded with sticky boozy deliciousness. Not a lot of cream and could use some time to lay down for a while and improve.<\/p>\n<p>O &#8211; This is great but very hot and very sweet right now. Could use some time but it\u2019s nice and complex and very drinkable. A 750 is a lot to drink at once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 20px 10px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5;\"><a title=\"View 'Cigar City Imperial Sweet Stout - Cognac' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8483485102\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Cigar City Imperial Sweet Stout - Cognac\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8085\/8483485102_bcfde6b2f9_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left; padding: 20px 10px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.5;\"><a title=\"View 'Cigar City Imperial Sweet Stout - Cognac' on Flickr.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44048128@N00\/8483474644\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"Cigar City Imperial Sweet Stout - Cognac\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8378\/8483474644_37e8aafdc4_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.8 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a09\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a06\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a03\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL\u00a015\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(936)\u00a0&#8211; Canaan, New Hampshire, USA &#8211; FEB 16, 2013 Thanks Chris for the bottle.
