Another trip through the looking glass hand-in-hand with our adventure buddies at Half Acre Beer Co. On & On Part 3 is the quantum result of both paths taken – a standalone pale, sweet component and another dark, roasty component spent time in separate barrels before rejoining and blending into a stout fluent in the language of barleywine -- combining the sweet, complex depths of aged malt without losing the shadowed primal note of roasty warmth.

a: Pours a very dark brown, almost black. Light brown small head recedes quickly to a line around the glass
s: dark chocolate, oak, vanilla, bourbon
t: follows on from the nose with dark chocolate, oak, vanilla & bourbon
m: medium body, medium-low carbonation
o: This is a no frills top notch Bourbon Barrel Aged stout. A bit of a bruiser, sure, but if this sounds appealing, you should enjoy it. I sure did.

16 ounce can into a snifter. Canned 1/5/24, had 7/12/24. Also had on tap at release.
Pours a fairly opaque dark brown, with a slight head and no real lacing. Aromas of bourbon, oak, malt, fig, raisin, caramel, tobacco as it warms, light char. Flavors of bourbon, malt, oak, raisin, fig, some caramel, light vanilla and brown sugar, light tobacco as it warms. Smooth, a very good full body, appropriately carbonated.
This is best fully warmed. Strong barrels, lots of distinct aromas and flavors, an especially good aroma. Really good.

thanks to Ken for the can!
L: black body, almost no head
S: oaky & boozy bourbon, roast, caramel, toffee, vanilla
T: boozy bourbon, oak barrel, vanilla, roasted barley, dark cocoa, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, maple, anise, earthy hops
F: full bodied, lower carbonation, a very boozy sipper, finishes more sweet than bitter with an alcohol burn on the throat
O: if I’m reading it right, this is a blend of a barrel-aged barleywine and a barrel-agedstout and it’s delicious.

A modest tan head sits atop a slightly less than expected dark brown body. Very pretty aroma: vanilla, maple, caramel & sweet malt. It is sweet. Flavors are all that it promised by its aroma plus bourbon, cinnamon, dark chocolate,prune, berries, charred oak & roasted malt. Thick & velvety smooth. Nor much carbonation but enough alcohol to heat the tongue & burn the stomach. Overall: I love stouts & this is one of the best.

Brownish black stout pour with a light brown head. Rugged bourbon barrel, with molasses, brown sugar, mild dark cherry, decent caramel, and bittersweet chocolate in nose. Taste has sweet caramel molasses and a strong cola note leading, then wood root, bourbon, bittersweet chocolate and the finally toasty oak finish. Not the smoothest and sneaky sweet, warmer on the booze for sure, and thins out through the sip from the massive start

Nice pour. Decent small head that does not stock around.
Get some sweetness, but not too much on the smell
Very smooth. Extremely. Silky roch, sweet, almost too much, but still delicious.
Interesting beer, very good.
