Crowler from the source shared. Thanks Matt! Pours a thick and viscous deep brown to black with a small bit of beige head that lingers. Very chocolate milk forward nose with coffee and bourbon notes. Some vanilla as it warms. Smooth and rich on the palate, very full-bodied and complex for the abv. Barrel notes are there with a touch of bourbon coming in mid-palate and lingering towards the finish, but it never overpowers the base beer. Excellent example of a low abv stout being complex with barrel treatment and not losing any body either. Great. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Aged Love Supreme on 10 Mar 2018 at 19:41 - Score: 9

Oh so lovely, with indulgent waves of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee, yet still remaining easygoing and friendly. Subtly sweet, and with a strong oak presence on the back end, but the moderate ABV means you can have more than one glass without getting floored. Imperial stout richness in a manageable package. Nice.
