Notes:
A blend of Jim Beam Distiller's Masterpiece Bourbon French oak PX Sherry finish-aged Stout and Barleywine, and two Vanilla Deth "money barrels," one dosed with three pounds of bourbon-soaked Papua New Guinea vanilla beans, and another stuffed with toasted Forêt de Tronçais French oak. Lumber-derived vanilla soars above a torrent of sweet caramel, date, and softened roast. Pinkies up, kiddos.

I was excited to try this one. Blending a stout with a Barleywine is a pretty ambitious endeavor. I was expecting that this would be in your face vanilla but it turns out the vanilla was actually pretty subtle. Chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit on the first wave. It was boozy with oak and vanilla in the finish.

On draught at Rev taproom.
Lot going on here - vanilla, fruit, very sweet, candy, sweet cream. Can't really pin down what its overall character is. Its good, but not really grabbing me. Sprightly carbonation.
