Review #299; Brandy #10: Copper and Kings: Bo and Luke Against the Grain Collab

Copper and Kings Craftwerk; Finished in Against the Grain Bo And Luke barrels.

This is a release from Copper and Kings, where they took their pot distilled American Brandy and finished it for a period of time in Against the Grains Bo and Luke Beer Barrels, which is an Imperial Smoked Stout aged in ex-Bourbon barrels.

This is a kind of weird release, so lets see how this combo works out.

ABV: 55.5%

Nose: Grapes, dark Chocolate, nutty, vanilla,

Palate: Medium Mouthfeel, tangy grapes, slight vanilla, dark chocolate, slight nuts.

Finish: Medium length, tart grapes, slight dark chocolate, slight hops, Vanilla.

Rating: 6/10

Overall a pretty interesting bottle. The stout flavors play pretty well with the underlying brandy, though the stout barrel may be a touch dominant over the brandy. Overall I am glad with the bottle though and would buy another.
