Bottle in Rome at So Good, shared with friends. 3 years aged bottle, come on. Black pour with an ivory lacing. Nose: blast of chocolate, an hint of black olive, Nutella and vanilla. Charming. Mouthfeel: alcohol sipper, carbo is quite high although the aging, the barrel provided a huge alcoholic contribute.

Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is chocolate forward with some medium roast notes. Fairly strong amount of alcohol spice with some medium bourbon and light oak notes. Quite a bit of anise and some notes similar to soy sauce. Pours black with a medium large, moderately thick, dark mocha head that recedes somewhat quickly to the edges where it lingers as a thin film for quite some time. No lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with nice chocolate notes and some medium light roast. Some medium light leather and tobacco notes. Light anise and a bit of a soy sauce note. Moderate bourbon note with some light oak,. Medium light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice stout, but definitely not my favorite. A bit too much oxidation notes and the mouthfeel is too thin and overcarbed.
