This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells like oak spice, dried dark fruit - raisin, grape, black cherry, etc, milk chocolate, vanilla, caramel, roasted malt, and coffee.

This has a really unique and honestly excellent barrel character to it. There's lots of dried fruit - without much overt wine character - just sort of a tannic, oak, and fruity character. There's a nice roast and soft milk chocolate character, with a creamy vanilla and almost marshmallow like character. There's some coffee, caramel, and nuttiness as well.

This is medium bodied, not super thick, but very creamy and silky, and very drinkable.

K2, kind of randomly, does some of the better barrel aged stouts locally. This is really unique and quite tasty.
