A thick, sticky Imperial Stout aged in Balcones Texas corn whiskey barrels. Punchy Aromas of rum soaked fudge, with notes of sweet coffee, berry dark chocolate, a soft whiskey heat, and hints of anise and cinnamon.

750ml corked/caged bottle served in a pair of champagne glasses. Bought it at a Total Wine a few weeks ago.

Pours dark brown, a flash of brown carbonation leaves almost no head, light continuous carbonation. Opaque. Smell is cinnamon (which I wouldn't have been able to name if it wasn't listed in the ingredients), black licorice, burnt chocolate.

Taste is lots of cinnamon -- not quite enough to overpower but more than I really wanted. Vanilla, horchata and Mexican chocolate vibes, when my wife said "honey" it made me think "baklava" -- some molasses. Burnt sugar came to mind later as it warmed up.

Mouthfeel is thick, still, smooth. Overall, this is a pretty good BA stout, but not excellent. However, it might be the best gluten-free beer I've ever had.
