Smells like chocolate mousse and vanilla.
Medium body
Taste is slightly tart, raspberry undertones, slight chocolate undertones. You get more chocolate smell the you do flavor.
A different imperial stout.

On tap at the brewery, RBSG tour bus stop. Near black pour with small ring of head. Boozy bourbon notes in the aroma, along with the required roast grains, and a bit of vanilla. Slick mouthfeel. Taste features more of the roast grains with nice bourbon flavors, a little heat, and a bittersweet finish.

Picked up a bomber from TW Arrowhead 11-4-17 for $15.99. No bottling date visible.

Beer poured black as night with a very nice tan head with the original pour.

Nose is bourbon and coffee forward, very nice.

Taste is dark chocolate and coffee interlaced with a large malt base. Bourbon and vanilla is very forward. All melds very nicely with the large malt base. Hopping is very adequate and with the bourbon balances the taste out very well.

Mouthfeel is medium to large bodied and very smooth.

Overall this is a very nice BBA RIS, glad i tried! I will need to look for the other special releases from Mother Earth!
