On tap at the brewery in Greenville, SC.

Appearance. Clear, dark orange-brown body with an excellent, surprisingly durable, off-white head.

The aroma is mild for the style, accurately suggesting moderate barrel aging effects. I had this paired with the orthogonal, non-barrel-aged Evil and can report that the barrel aging transforms this stout. It's markedly sweeter (but not overly sweet), much less smokey, and of course loaded with notes of bourbon. I'd like (but not like a rauchbier) while this subdued in the flavor but still prominent in the aftertaste. Given the prominent impact of the bourbon barrel aging, this is nicely harmonious. The ABV is very well hidden here despite the strong aroma and flavor of bourbon. Notably smooth body.
