22 ounce bottle into snifter; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours fairly pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, toast, toffee, dark bread, whiskey, oak, cream, light dark fruits, and oak/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt, chocolate, and whiskey barrel notes; with good strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, toast, toffee, dark bread, whiskey, oak, cream, light dark fruit, and oak/toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness and a fair amount of oak/whiskey spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, vanilla, toast, toffee, dark bread, whiskey, oak, cream, light dark fruit, and oak/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance, robustness, and complexity of dark/bready malt, chocolate, and whiskey barrel flavors; with a great malt/barrel balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, moderately creamy, and lightly slick/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent barrel aged cream stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/bready malt, chocolate, and whiskey barrel flavors; and very smooth to drink with the modest ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
