16 oz. can, pours jet black, tiny head. Nose has some spirit-forward, fusel-y alcohol-tinged bourbon barrel character, dark sugars, and molasses. Flavour is rich, with intense bourbon barrels, dry roast, molasses, and alcohol. Dry, bourbony, spirit-forward—more so than usual for AleSmith. Dry, nicely boozy, but well-integrated. Excellent.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, without much of the coffee notes I usually find in Alesmith’s imperial stouts. Black with a medium cinnamon tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet with a lot of flavor from the 32 months in Willett Bourbon Barrels. Nice traditional bourbon barrel stout with no pile of adjuncts.
