A blend of several Stouts aged between 9 and 26 months in a variety of barrels, including Weller Special Reserve, 19-year Heaven Hill, Stagg Jr., and Willett Rye. Then rested on a massive amount of hand-scraped Ugandan and Mexican vanilla.

16 ounce can into a snifter. Had 2/11/23.
Pours a dark brown, opaque and oily looking, with a brief head and light foamy cling. Aromas of vanilla, malt, bourbon, rye whiskey, chocolate, oak, light char. Flavors of rye whiskey, bourbon, vanilla, malt, light chocolate. Smooth, a lighter full body, appropriately carbonated.
The vanilla is delicious and the barrels are solid. The base is a little light, but not thin feeling. Very nice.

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours motor oil black with little head. The nose is vanilla, chocolate, and a bit of barrel. Some dark fruit. The taste follows the nose. Chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar, blackberries, and maybe a hint of maple. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. Overall, really good.

Appearance: Pours fudge colored with a fizzy beige head that disappears in 10 seconds; a few speckles linger
Smell: Mellow Bourbon tones merge with chocolate fudge and vanilla to present a balanced aroma
Taste: A sweet presentation of chocolate fudge and vanilla is joined by Bourbon and Rye tones in the middle; the finish is sweet and somewhat boozy
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with low carbonation; not creamy
Overall: I appreciate the barrel blend here but the overall impression is a bit too sweet and the mouthfeel for this type of beer should be thick and creamy
Thanks, xKURTx, for the opportunity
