This one pours a very dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.
This smells like tobacco, leather, caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, oak, vanilla, and char.
This is pretty barrel-forward, and pleasantly boozy – it’s not for the faint of heart, or people who are on the fence about barrel aged stouts. It’s spicy, oaky, herbal, and charred, with a butterscotch, caramel, and vanilla thing off the barrel, and plenty of strong bourbon, too. There’s a fudgy and coffee like flavor as well.
This is medium bodied, with a boozy and spicy warmth to it that subsides slightly as it warms a bit.
The Wild Turkey barrels here brought some oomph to this – I really enjoyed it.
