Pours black, tiny layer of tanned head. Scent is roasty, bourbon, vanilla. Not as chocolaty as other JWB's, maple is hidden. Taste is full, roasty, typical chocolatyness is definately present here, and how. Great vanila, maple definately noticeable. Thick, but not extremely so. low carbo. Everything you like in a JWB stout, with great barrel benefits, slightly lower in intensity. Lovely beer, as esxpected. A great JWB but not their top shelve stuff.

Bottle. Pours black with small tan head. The aroma is strong vanilla bean, maple, wood, bourbon. Slick body, vanilla, maple, cocoa, wood, nice sweetness, light boozy finish, enjoyed this.
