12 oz bottle, poured into a Spiegelau barrel-aged snifter at ~40 degrees F.
L: Pours your typical stout inky black, and forms virtually no head that vanishes nigh instantly.
S: Quite barrelly, with the caramel, oak, and vanilla booze one would expect from a BA stout. Not much underlies the barrel notes, at least while the beer is cold.
T: As per the nose, at least while cold, this is dominated by the barrel notes. It drinks as a decent bourbon with a malt underlay. As it warms, some earthy loam and blackstrap appear beneath the barrel notes.
F: Full bodied and thick, as one wants from a stout.
O: As BA RISes go, fairly pedestrian, but serviceable.

A - Black pour with light, thin caramel colored lacing resting on top. Carbonation is low to none.
S - Light chocolate, chocolate roast, whiskey/Bourbon, some dry oak, toasted cocoa, and light char.
T - Whiskey, oak, and char are up front and foremost in this beer. After the initial palate slam of booziness roasted cocoa starts to settle in on the finish (with some very light cherry buried in there) and leaves a lingering and pleasant chocolate/whiskey finish.
M - Big body that silky soft on the palate, and warming in the back of throat with a dry finish on the back of the tongue while the rest of the mouth is wet.
O - This is a really nice barrel aged Imperial Stout. Recommended.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass vintage 2020. Pours near pitch black with a 2 finger mocha head that leaves thick streaks of lace, with great retention. 4.5
Aroma oaked vanilla, dark chocolate, char, back strap molasses, leather, dark fruit, and whiskey. 4.25
Taste follows woody vanilla, dark chocolate, char, molasses, leather, and the whiskey is rather aggressive but still really nice. 4.25
Mouthfeel above average, maybe a tad dry, gentle carbonation, and at 11% it is a slow sipper and still very approachable. 4.25
Overall this is a really fine Imperial Stout, I am really digging this one. Well made. Thanks jzeilinger for this boozy treat. 4.25

Dark black, no head.
Strong aroma of booze. Oak and vanilla. A little chocolate.
Bourbon, vanilla, chocolate.
A little more alcohol than I wanted, but still an enjoyable beer to drink.
