What a neat idea--not only aging a beer in a mead barrel, but that of a mead stylized in the spirit of bananas fosters.
The matte black body has a moderate tan blanket that displays much less retention than the regular BB Siberian Night.
Smell is nutty brown sugar, chocolate syrup and maple-esque oak.
Taste starts with the sweet heat of bourbon melding into chocolate malt with a caramel and brown sugar back end. There's not a big hit of banana, but it comes out with the caramel on the back end, so the bananas fosters essence does emerge as it warms, and is joined by a barrel contribution of nutty marshmallow.
The mead rounds it out to be a different, less heavy sort of stout, with a thinned out body and sweetened constitution. A thin, bubbly but almost non-present carbonation leads into a semi-dry tingly finish.
