Dark, opaque body; thin head yet lasting; khaki colored; creamy texture; thin sheets of foam coat the glass. Heady aroma of dark chocolate, cocoa, light whiskey notes, charred grain; some wood undertones. Sweet cocoa taste with a moderate bourbon streak; milk chocolate; mild grain char and bitterness offsets the sweetness and booziness. Heavy body; velvety smoothness; moderate alcohol warmth counteracts the slick residual sugars.

If you love a big, barrel-aged stout, this is a beer to try. It's a blend of beers with a healthy boozy presence from the beer's ABV as well as the barrel aging. Deep, complex, balanced.

The darkest of brown with 1/8 inch of tan head. The nose is toasted pecans, dark chocolate, vanilla, and booziness bubbling up through it all. The taste is figs, raisins, molasses, and a bit of cherries and smoke. The finish is bitter with barrel (rye whiskey?) and coffee. The feel is creamy and coating but finishes dry. This is a really nice sipper. As it warms a nice toasted quality shines through.
