To be fair I only had a 5oz taster but after sipping it slowly I think I have a good enough feel.
L- holding it up to light, can't see anything but an ocean of black...dramatic. Like many BA beers it doesn't have great head retention.
S- Oak, vanilla, chocolate and slight booze.
T- good barrel notes without the base stout being overpowered. Bourbon (boozey oak and vanilla) mixes with a semi sweet roasty stout.
F- Thick. Barrels tend to thin out beers but this doesn't suffer from a thin mouthfeel. Awesome. Great carbonation lend to a slick and full feel.
O- very impressed by this beer. This is a difficult style to make well, especially at there size and relatively simple setup.
