When I entered this, I should have also said it was their 11th anniversary beer. I love this series of beers. These guys are easily the best brewery in a ten mile radius around me. This one is sweet, roasty, malty, and boozy with a great barrel presence - everything I like in a barrel aged stout. Only issue is it’s a bit too oily and syrupy, two things I don’t like in the style. Other than that, a great beer.
