On tap at WhichCraft Brews in Penfield, NY.

This one pours a fairly dark black, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells like smoky and roasty coffee, bourbon, vanilla, and oak.

The coffee flavor is intriguing- it seems like dark roast, with big smoky flavors, and lots of dark chocolate and heavy roast. It plays well with the beer underneath- there's lots of oak and bourbon, and a chewy chocolate malt malt character. This is absolutely an improvement on regular BA Siberian Night.

This is medium bodied, a bit chewy, with a good level of carbonation for the style.

This is a really nice surprise.

Matte black with much less of a head than regular BB Siberian Night, settling as a faint, spotty film and thin ring.

Smell is like a beautifully earthy and nutty coffee-infused artisan bar of milk chocolate.

Taste is mocha with brown sugar, toffee chocolate chip and toasty malt. There's much less heat than other barrel-aged Thirsty Dog beers, but the bourbon presence is still noticeable with a slight sting and flavor, without any real woodiness.

A moderate, smooth body has a light carbonation and a semi-dry finish.

This is really well done and very drinkable--I would love to see them do this more often, and bottle it!
