Poured into a Big Head's Belgian-style tulip

Sampling a 500 ml bottle at cellar temp and poured into my trusty snifter. Bottled on 9/11/2023 and aged in George Dickel Bourbon barrels for 12 months and 24 days.
the beer pours a rich toffee and caramel color pretty dark and maybe more molasses to be honest. A creamy beige head of about 1 cm foams up on the pour. This foam fades to a sturdy edge layer and surface island, that remains throughout the sampling. I do get some scattered lattice when I swirl the glass or take a sip.
Aroma is apparent right from the start of the pour. I get toffee and molasses with some brown sugar and sweetish bourbon with some hints of raisin as well. No hop character that I pick up on the nose. Not really fusol or boozy either.
First sip reveals a medium body and very fine tingly carbonation. texture is a little sticky and there is some coating on my lips and palate with each sip.
Flavor is similar to the nose, brown sugar, toasted caramel, bourbon notes and actually a little vanilla. But brown sugar and bourbon are carrying here. Not really any warming booze or peppery bite and hops dont really come through either.
Dangerously well hidden ABV on this beer, and a pretty straightforward malty barleywine. I enjoy this one and will sip it for the rest of the evening.

Dark amber with a finger of khaki-colored head. It quickly settles into a soupy crown that leaves nice, sloppy lacing.
Dark caramel, leather and molasses show in the nose with some date fruit behind.
More fruity tasting — dates, fig, fruit leather — on top of the caramel. Warming alcohol and some moderate earthy bitterness in the finish prevent it from being overly sweet.
Medium bodied, slick feel with soft carbonation.
Very tasty.
