On tap at Stone.

A: Very dark brown with a fleeting beige head.

S: Faint oak notes with traces of vanilla and a whisper of bourbon. Chocolate is a blend of milk and dark. Roast is light and I get a dash of smoke. Smells pretty good.

T: The beer showcases milk chocolate and a light presence of roasted grains. Bourbon is almost a suggestion. I get a little vanilla and notes of oak. The flavors are muted and somewhat feeble.

M: Medium body with lower medium carbonation. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.

Overall: The barrel aging didn't do much to the beer aside from thinning the mouthfeel out. The beer isn't bad, it's just lackluster.
