Tried at the brewery on draft:
Lusciously rich stout with fruit on the front palate that fades into dark molasses and coffee notes. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel, this would be amazing on nitro but even without it's very enjoyable.

Nicely designed can, and I like the name of the brewery too. Also like Gaithersburg, MD, for whatever that's worth. To try to keep the review positive, the barrel aging really provides a noticeable flavor, almost like a beer poured into a glass with a half-shot of whiskey in it. I personally felt the alcohol taste, but when you pay 5 dollars a pint, you also want it to be a sipper.
That said, I know of few stouts I would not favor over this, and it makes me wish I would become content to just buy Guinness Foreign Extra Stout every single time.

Undated can into pint glass. Pours a very dark brown with an audibly fizzy light tan head. No lacing. Initial impression is roasted malts, caramel, and a touch of coffee. Alcohol is well hidden. Mouthfeel is fairly soft and quite smooth. Finish fades to a mild coffee sweetness. Very drinkable.
