A fusion of bourbon barrel aged barleywines, a Belgian quad, and an imperial stout to create something astounding. Rich notes of raisin, toffee, dark sweet cherry, vanilla, and chocolate.

On-site consumption at the Jackie O's taproom. Pours dark brown, thick and murky like all of their barrel-aged dark beers. This is reminiscent of some of Firestone Walker's anniversary blends, with barleywine and stout and quad all in the mix. Marvelous in the blend, with each style clearly in evidence. Very smooth, sweet, and full of flavor.

500 ml bottle poured into tulip glass
A: Very warm bodied when poured gave a fizzy high carbonation pour that yielded no head. Body is a the deepest of blacks that your reflection shines back at you.
S: Lots of bourbon softer notes of toffee, vanilla, caramel, light oak, alcohol, honey, figs, and dates
T: Lots of oak, toffee, vanilla, light leather, some roasted malts, some honey, a light hint of alcohol some roasted coffee.
M : medium bodied a tad high on the carbonation and a little thin but that has to be the barrels.
O: This beer has some crazy flavors, but it doesn't blend as well as you would think its like this beer doesn't know what it wants to be. You can taste all if those beers almost distinctly rather than them melding. That being said its still a pretty damn good beer.
