The scotch notes came out perfect on this beer. Between the smell and the taste I would really like to see more scotch barrel aged stouts like this. It was well balanced.

Before I taste this beer, I will have to say that barrel aging is not really my thing. So if I come off blasé on this one, feel free to discard my opinion.

Nose is definitely scotch. Clearly defined. Mildly boozy. Yep. Definitely aged in a scotch barrel. Flavor is...actually pretty good! Interesting. I really don't get a lot of complexities off this one, but who cares. The scotch adds a really nice level of accents to the base stout. This is a stellar beer. A really good execution in barrel aging of a beer. This is now about the 5th or 6th very well done beer in a row from BG I have had and they are now to be taken seriously, in my mind.
