This massive Russian Imperial Stout brings waves of flavors; chocolate, cherries, raisins, coffee, and toffee. Barrel-Aged Darkness is a limited edition variant that spent over three months aging in Rye Whiskey barrels from High West, a distillery in Park City, Utah. The aging process provides a distinct aromatic whiskey character that is oaky and spicy on top of the core Darkness flavors.

Pours black, no real head. Smell is full, boozy, mild whiskey . Taste is full, intense, rye whiskey , mild booze. Dark chocolate. very full and yet very balanced. Lovely beer and indeed way better than i remember the basebeer to be.
