750ml waxed and capped bottle into a BBT snifter.
Pours pitch black, rich, and dense. Huge, dark mocha colored legs. No head, no lace. Nose is mocha, chocolate, hazelnut, and slight overtones of barrel. Just as advertised and amazingly rich. Beer opens rich milk chocolate, hazelnut, and mocha coffee. Layers of molasses, vanilla, and lactose in the middle. More chocolate, hazelnut, and pancake syrup in the back. The barrel character has mellowed out significantly at this point but the adjunct flavors are still bright as day. Somehow not overly sweet given the flavor combination. Long, lingering finish and aftertaste. Body is spot on. Rich, thick, and chewy. Coats the palate. Long, lingering, boozy aftertaste.
This beer is impressive. Really nice balance in the flavor. I don't know that I want too much barrel so as to not drown out the other flavors here. Definitely worth trying.

Batch 1, retro review. Big hazelnut and coffee. Minimal coconut and barrel. Nice and sweet; altogether it worked very very well.

The coffee melds wonderfully with chocolate, vanilla, and bourbon; stupid thicc mouthfeel, with a chewy, booziness that lingers.
