750mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is deep, with notes of wood, chocolate and subdued cherries. Flavour is deep, with a very nice bourbon barrel character upfront, followed by chocolate and cherry in good balance. Very good blend of bourbon, chocolate and cherry, with a touch of tartness from the cherry. Cohesive, relatively complex and well-balanced. Very good.

Dark brown. Not much head. The aroma is fun...a light molasses, almond, chocolate, touch of cherry...good complexity here. Very sweet, really nice molasses character, with those dark burnt sugars, raisins, again the nice almond sweetness, and a touch of the cherry. But the cherry really is an afterthought. The barrel lends that really nice sweetness, vanilla, and that goes well with the stout. In the finish, alcohol, wood, molasses, chocolate...really nice stuff.

This was a truly awesome beer. Looks like it is bottled. Pours a pitch black color with a small white head. A huge bourbon and cherry nose. Roast, licorice, some heat, big vanilla oak bourbon, the cherries and huge and likely to mellow, bursting with dark fruit. Very smooth and flavorful. Lovely good beer.
