Ordered a 5 oz. pour at the back bar ("catwalk bar") of the brewery in Boulder. This beer isn't bottled, is only rarely available, only at the back bar, and only 2 barrels are produced each year.
Look: Dark amber, very little head
Smell: Maraschino cherry, booze, rum raisin
Taste: Very sweet, ABV is very well hidden, reminds me of Dogfish Head Higher Math
Feel: Medium plus carbonation, sticky sweet
Overall: Outstanding, for sipping only, but delicious

We had this on draft at Avery in September 2015.
The smell is a sweet smell with a light, boozy character. The sweet is founded by caramel and toffee. It smells like a treat!
It tastes like it smells and that is not a bad thing. The oak and the bourbon back the caramel, providing an interesting and multi-dimensional taste from the caramel to the yeast to the bourbon. It was quite enjoyable in the amount poured into a snifter.
It takes four years to candy up a Samael's like the BBR; a two year old DDB also has a similar profile. My wife (not a big beer drinker) stole the latter half of my glass of my Reverend and that never happens. Shared, or sipped like a dessert wine, it is fantastic!
