Haven't actually had the chance to try the non-barrel-aged version yet, but thats next on my list after having this. The bourbon is quite upfront and prevalent on this beer, so if you don't like bourbon flavor stay away. the smell reeks of bourbon, and might have you convinced this beer is far stronger than 7%. Fortunately the taste is far more complex with the stout flavors playing nicely with the bourbon. While there is a strong bourbon flavor throughout it doesn't overpower the other flavors, leading to a easy drinking barrel aged stout. They may have gone a bit overboard with the bourbon, but still a quite tasty stout, of which I would be more than happy to down a few.

On draft at the brewpub in Winston. Not too much nor too little bourbon taste. Just right for the style which isn't my fav but a really good beer

Low ABV really lets the bourbon through. Enjoyable but would like it more if it were an imperial.
