Single barrel of Double Barrel X.O.D. Le Troncais. A 3-plus-year-old sweet blend of double bourbon barreled Deth’s Tar is finished on our favorite single-origin, hand-fire-toasted oak from the forest of Tronçais in central France – long featured in the finest, boldest red wines in Europe and the U.S. This powerful and elegant oak is interwoven with a double shot of its charred American counterpart, and the nuance of an Extra Old malt profile makes for a matchless expression of our Imperial Oatmeal Stout.

Had on tap. Black opaque body with a finger of oatmeal brown foam. Smell captures that bold and unique oak, but here there are more of the xod trappings to meet, the molasses in particular stands out. Taste has a brilliant and deep strong barrel character, big molasses bourbon and dark fruit with leather, dark chocolate, and caramel all ooze forth. This is better than the blended version shockingly. Full and rich, but balanced by ruggedness. Really impressive complexity and flavor, again amazed how much I enjoyed this over the regular blended version, especially since I usually like blended versions better than the single barrel variants
