Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque black color, average sized light brown colored head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma and flavor are malts, roast, liquor. Awesome!

More Eclipse is more better. Not much to distinguish this one from its brothers and sisters. Honey, some sweetness and a bit of coffee. Nicely smooth, not the thickest but that's OK. Barrel luckily doesn't overpower, only gives a bit of sharp rye.

Sample at the "New Beers Eve - Last Chance 2014 Beers!" tasting on 12/31/2014. Brownish-black pour with a medium foamy beige head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of oaky vanilla, roast malt and chocolate. Full-bodied with a spicy rye and booze character. Notes of coconut and coffee plus vanilla. The finish is oaky spiced bourbon and chocolate. Good beer all around.
