On tap at brewery:
A body bordering on black, but there’s just a bit of scruff and dullness to throw it into the very dark brown realm. Head is a medium tan, but so loosely connected between large bubbles as to seem lighter. Some oily remains suspend a starlit sky of drying bubbles.
Nose has a heavy roasted coffee note that tries to hide behind a spicy barrel foreground. There’s no mention of whether a spirit was formerly housed in the barrels, but it seems like it. The combination has licorice and fig resulting scents.
Taste also brings the coffee and licorice notes, with the barrel notes showing less spirit nature and more woody notes. Roasted malts rule the day, here, and take on a bit more of a charred aspect as it warms (the coffee-specific note fades). A seemingly malt-driven bitterness and barrel-driven dryness end each sip. It has a slightly oily feel and seems well attenuated, leaving it at a medium body.
The roasted notes aided by the barrel give a finish that most harkens memories of Ten FIDY. This isn’t on par with the classic, but it’s still a very nice barrel-aged stout that has more of the base beer than many similarly styled beers.
