500ml (thx, Brian!) @ SF.
Aroma: roasty, some little sweetness, a bit fruity.
Taste: along the same lines, no barrel ageing presence.
Overall: I now must ask - what was the point to make something like this? Useless beer.

Medium brown. Medium head. Thin and light aroma, comes across with a bit of caramel. On the palate, it's light, sweet. Honestly it needs some bitterness. And also, barrel-aging such a light beer doesn't work. There's nothing to carry the barrel anywhere, and how long was this in the barrel? The base goes nowhere, nor does the treatment.

500mL bottle, pours a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is dry, with tons of dry bready malt, not much else—no barrel character detectable. Flavour is extremely drywith bready malt and little else. No bourbon nor any barrel character. Little depth whatsoever. Pointless creation.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark brown with small off white head. Mild fruity porter with super feint barrel hint as if it was aged next to the barrel, not in it. Average.

500mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Wisps of malts on the nose. Flavour has thin malts, very dry. No hints of bourbon whatsoever. Completely useless.
