Shared bomber in snifters. Smooth, silky from the rice, I think,p. I’m not getting any booze from the bourbon barrels, which I miss (I don’t like a booze bomb, but I do like some on the palate. All-in-all not bad, but the bar is set high in the barrel-aged imperial stout competition.

Bottle thanks to my mom! Pours black with a grayish brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy, stale dark grains and some sweet bourbon. Flavor has dark grains and bourbon with some earthy roasted malts.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled in 9/2016. Pours clear nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, wheat, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coffee, smoke, tobacco, coconut, licorice, molasses, raisins, and roast/toasted earthiness. Some increasing booziness in the aromas as it warms. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and bourbon barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, wheat, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coffee, smoke, tobacco, coconut, licorice, molasses, raisins, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate roasted bitterness and bourbon/tannic oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, wheat, dark bread, light smoke/tobacco, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and bourbon barrel flavors; with a great malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitter/tannic oak spiciness, increasing through the glass. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a smooth, moderately creamy/silky, and lightly sticky/tannic/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is decently well hidden; moderate warmth and some barrel booziness lingering after the finish, but not overwhelming. Overall this is an excellent barrel aged imperial stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on, despite the warmth and booziness. This was a lot less roasty than I expected, resulting in a much more intense barrel presence; but still had great malt complexity. I look forward to aging this and revisiting. A very enjoyable offering.

22 oz bottle. Pours a very deep brown to black with a tan head. Cocoa, dark fruit, coffee mix in the aroma, perhaps a hint of bourbon. Flavor has cocoa, molasses, anise, cream. Not bad, but it could stand to be more flavorful.
