The beer pours black bodied with a thick off-white colored head that never really dissipates. The head however is not sticky and despite being all black with no light the beer does "look" thick. Aroma is very fruity alcohol, but high on the fruit part and low on the stingy isopropanol-like alcohol. Taste is similar with a bit more maltiness, not a lot, but just enough to cover some of the alcohol. Still pretty light bodied for this beer. The barrel completely takes over but I was not a fan of the base beer so that is a step up. Also, the fruitiness of the rye is welcomed compared to a lot of BA brews now days.
Goblet glass from draft @ Blind Tiger.

Draft. Blackish beer with a dark cream colored head. Light whiskey aroma with malt and caramel. Whiskey, vanilla, caramel malt flavor with backing hops. Medium body. Lingering vanilla, malt, whiskey, light oak. Nice. Well balanced barrel aged beer. Nothing overpowering.
