On draft at Heist Barrel Arts in Charlotte. Taster. Smell is cinnamon and chocolate. Flavor is straight heat. No barrel. Minimal cinnamon. Thin-bodied. Completely unbalanced.

500ml capped and waxed bottle into a Tree House teku.
Pours pitch black. Thin mocha head with no retention. Thick, oily legs. Spotty, sparse lace. Nose is barrel, chocolate, molasses, and salted caramel with toasted coconut in the back. Flavors are spot on. Aroma is dense. Beer opens brown sugar, chocolate, fudge, and caramel. Smooth and rich. Cinnamon and a chili heat enter towards the middle. Syrup and molasses. Toasted coconut sweetness mixed with a vanilla cream in the finish. Big barrel notes in the aftertaste. Body is full with low carbonation. Thick and chewy on the palate and goes down rich and warm. Long, lingering, filmy aftertaste.
This is excellent and just adds to the Incendiary pedigree for me.

Appearance: Pours espresso colored with a being film that fades to a ringlet and archipelago; leggy with spots trickling down
Smell: The Bourbon barrel tones join with chocolate and cinnamon
Taste: The Bourbon blends well with the chocolate and cinnamon from the outset, with a tingling heat from the habanero building; the Bourbon flavors continue to build, into the finish, as does the heat
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with low carbonation; warmth on the tongue and in the gullet
Overall: Excellent barrel aging here and nicely complements the base beer
