Must let warm a bit. Even after it is still too tinny & bitter.

1 PT 0.9 FL OZ bottle
Served in a snifter
This beer pours black in color and is topped with less than an inch of head that leaves very little lacing.
It starts out with more of an oak smell than bourbon. The bourbon aroma opens up as it warms releasing vanilla and caramel smells they play nicely with the chocolate aroma from the stout.
The taste is dark roasted malt with hints of black coffee, dark, bitter chocolate, and anise. The bourbon flavor is faint but does sweeten the beer a bit. The finish is dry and woody.
Medium, dry mouthfeel
I get more oak elements from the barrel than bourbon. It is a dry stout.

On tap at John's Market the other day.
The beer pours a blackish brown color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is nice as well, as I pick up considerable vanilla and licorice, along with some underlying coffee and dark chocolate. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely, with the considerable licorice flavor dominating. The beer has some initial sweetness, but the finish is quite dry with a roasty quality. Frankly, I think a bit more sweetness would likely benefit this beer, as well as more coffee and chocolate to counter the licorice (the licorice flavor is probably more pronounced in this beer then any dry stout I can ever recall having). Alcohol is fairly well integrated into the flavor profile, and the beer certainly delivers plenty of flavor.
An interesting beer, but probably not something I would be in the mood for all the time (as the licorice flavor just seemed a bit much).
