Buffalo Trace Barrel Aged bottle (marked as bottled 3/5/2012) shared by someone at Sourfest. Pours with a black hued body and a small tan head. Aromas are of currants, sour fruit, chocolate, ash, burnt newspaper mostly. Some light barrel and vanilla character. Lightly toasted. Flavors are roasty, barrel, nutty, ashy, toasted. Lots of barrel character. Light acidity. Fuller than expected carbonation and a drier than expected finish. Low tannin.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours black with a brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of vanilla and bourbon with smooth roasted malts and dark grains. Flavor begins with earthy dark grain that is joined by a bit of smooth bourbon and vanilla.
