2013 and had on tap at the brewery in 2022
Look - great black and fairly thick looking with a tan head and lacing
Smell - chocolate bourbon and wood
Taste - chocolate and wood
Feel - medium body with a lighter carb
Overall - ok but I don't know if it just lot a lot from aging or if I would have never been a fan even if it was fresh? Not sure

It's easier to talk about the negatives than the positives. First off is the taste. Its like a shot of whiskey added to a stout. Nothing more. It really is bland, no complexity or layers to the beer. And then the mouthfeel: very thin. There was absolutely no body to this beer. Probably the thinnest barrel aged imperial stout I've tasted. The positive to this beer is the aroma. With prominent notes of whiskey, it's inviting. But that is it.
