Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice dark brown almost black with a a thin mocha head that fades to leave a light halo and thin wisps.
S - Aromas of toasted coconut, lightly sweet, good old dusty barrel. Nice sweeter vanilla barrel, good whiskey as well.
T - Taste is similar to the nose with nice sweeter caramel sauce, tons of coconut galore. The barrel is more faint than the nose but the rest of the beer pops more.
M - Mouthfeel is highly carbonated, body is thin. Really off style wise.
O - Overall this was a decent enough stout, good coconut and vanilla. If the mouthfeel wasn't as poor as it was the taste might have been better.

Thanks to rudzud
Decent foamy creamy head fades semi quickly, retention is not great, decent lacing, good legs, pitch black
Nose tons of oak, raw wood esters, very strong young whiskey, raw barrel, then coconut, raw coconut and husk, hint caramel, mild roasted malt and sweet dark malt
Taste sweet malts and big coconut, great coconut, toasted and raw, mild dark chocolate, barrel is less, a touch of vanilla barrel very light whiskey, nice caramel sauce, candy bar, touch milk chocolate
Mouth is a bit thinner feeling, aggressive carb, not creamy
Overall mixed, back and forth between barrel, coconut, lack of caramel and then caramel sauce, lack completely of milk stout, but stone really nice characters, but really missed on the mouth

Appearance - On tap, beer was brownish black color mocha bubbles crowning the glass.
Smell - In the nose, toasted coconut and bourbon come through with a sense of sweetness.
Taste - Right off the bat, I get rich toasted coconut, chocolate malts, and bourbon. The caramel is present, but gets a little buried. The bourbon is well balanced, and highlights the nuances of Samoa DeLight. The sweet stout carries into the after with bourbon oakiness.
Mouthfeel - The feel was exceptionally smooth, particularly for a barrel aged stout.
Overall - Aside from a few minor things, this is pretty close to perfect.
