On tap at PreFunk. Brilliant up front, but no finish. Light aroma, but huge taste, lots of vanilla. Overall body is kind of watery, and absolutely nothing lingers. Taste is enough for some good marks, but could be a bit more robust in feel and aroma.

On tap at The Olney Place in Penn Yan, NY.
This one pours a dark brown color, almost black, with a small foamy head, and basically no lacing.
Smells like rye, cookie dough, and chocolate.
This has a bit of a watery taste to it, unfortunately. The barrel is fairly light, some nice rye notes, a bit of oak, some cookie dough and chocolate. It's very very drinkable, but not incredibly complex or bold- which is to be expected for a barrel-aged stout at this ABV.
This has a pretty light mouthfeel and a fairly thin body, with a lower level of carbonation.
Not horrible, but hardly memorable.
