3.46/5  rDev -11.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Beautiful black brew, relatively clear around the edges, with a moderate tan head with poor retention.

Woody, whiskey-forward aroma. Very faint cocoa from the malt.

Flavor heavily favors the wood, both up front and on the finish. Whiskey adds a little sweetness. Base brew provides a mostly blank canvas; a bit of dark cocoa, but little else.

Medium-thin, lively feel.

I don't get much black strap molasses, or even much malt (or yeast). Good use of the barrel, but it seems that the base brew is quite weakly represented.

Black draft pour at the brewery, no ruby, clear enough to see underside of oily cap; tan head and decent retention with excellent lace. Wild Turkey, oak and vanilla notes initially; roasted malt and toffee as this warms quickly. Tastes like whiskey, oak and bittersweet pancake syrup; some toffee as it warms; whiskey is more nose than taste and not distracting. Light creamy mouthfeel and lite carbonation; wooden tongue coating. Overall, the English hops (Fuggle and Goldings) contribute to lite bitter linger with the barrel notes.

Not a large head, a little was there, and a nice dark color. Smell is typical of a porter, but with a backbone of what one would expect with a barrel aged beer. Taste was similar, maybe a little sweet with a nice booziness quality. One that I like with my barrel aged beers. One worth seeking out if you are on the islands and want to have a local beer that's different than fizzy and yellow.
