Abstract: We study a cohomology theory $$, called the $mathcal{L}_B$-cohomology, on compact torsion-free $mathrm{G}_2$-manifolds. We show that $H_{varphi}^{k}cong{H}_{mathrmdR}^k$ for $keq3,4$, but that $H_{varphi}^k$ is infinite-dimensional for $k=3,4$. Nevertheless there is a canonical injection $H_{mathrmdR}^{k}o{H}_{varphi}^k$. The $mathcal{L}_B$-cohomology also satisfies a Poincar'e duality induced by the Hodge star. The establishment of these results requires a delicate analysis of the interplay between the exterior derivative $mathrmd$ and the derivation $mathcal{L}_B$, and uses both Hodge theory and the special properties of $mathrm{G}_2$-structures in an essential way. As an application of our results, we prove that compact torsion-free $mathrm{G}_2$-manifolds are 'almost formal' in the sense that most of the Massey triple products necessarily must vanish.
