Draught at the brewery. I really enjoy their standard imperial oatmeal stout and was very much looking forward to this but the beer is almost entierly masked by the whisky barrel charesteristics. Heavy oak and whisky notes with minimal roasted malt underneath. Too much barrel and not enough beer for me.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color, small frothy head. Mild aroma, but nice mix: dark malts, tobacco, oak. Moderate body strength, moderate sweetness; chocolate drink flavor, some oatmeal, a bit boozy, with bourbon touch.
Uncomplex, a bit over the top, but not bad.

Dark brown, sweeter toffee notes on the nose. Fairly rich character, light toastiness, and the rich toffee character is nicely developed.

Bottle - Dark cocoa and chocolate notes. Deep jet brown with a small beige head. Nice cocoa and sweet barrel notes. Well balanced and nice light bourbon notes.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is complex, with notes of whiskey barrels, oats, and dry cocoa notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of whiskey barrels upfront, followed by oats and cocoa. Complex and with a pretty dry body. Really well-balanced and harmonious. Excellent.
