Pours a near black from a bottle. Faint vanilla over a roasty malt, similar flavor. Rather thin frankly. Good beer.

12 oz. bottle from CBC, Amesbury, Ma. Pitch black in color, good head and retention in the snifter. Aroma shows me roasted malt, chocolate, light coffee, and cocoa.The flavor has a good backbone of malt, chocolate, light coffee, just slight wood. The mouthfeel is nice and thick with a full bodied feel.
. The best aspect of this is the base stout. The barrel aging did almost nothing. I get no whiskey whatsoever. (How can you with only 30 days in the barrel?) But the basic stout was brewed real well.

12 ounce bottle. Bottled on March 30, 2017, batch 4. Pours black with small tan head. Doesn’t smell particularly barrel aged. Fumy, slightly dry black malts, a little acrid but not acidic aroma. A little alcoholic essence from barrel. Flavor is milder with more of a cocoa carbonated mineral mix. Drying with the slightest acidity and low bitterness and low sweetness. Pretty nice beer all around without a lot of barrel or alcohol.

Draught at Salty Pig, 3/4/17.
Dark, inky black with a medium-sized tan head showing moderately-strong retention.
Thankfully free from any barrel excess in the nose (and to be honest, I couldn’t really tell it was barrel aged). The one month it spent makes sense, and I really appreciate the restraint here. Fruity chocolate and cocoa mix with light fudge and vanilla. Some spiciness perhaps signifies the whiskey with a hint of alcohol warmth on the very end. Strong roast and light ash are noted on the end, but the chocolate-vanilla "sweetness" balances.
In the mouth it’s rich, lightly sweet and malty with notes of plum, maple, raisin and dark chocolate all set against a more dry roast with good acidity and what could be dry barrel tannin and spicy whiskey. Low but engaging carbonation and a proper attenuation make for a beer that has a great depth of flavor but drinks much lower than you’d expect. Very nice.
