Tasting at Matt's; 10.8% ABV; vintage 2017, release 2
Dark brown color, small frothy head. Mild aroma of liqueur and roasted nuts, some alcohol. Soft mouthfeel, quite dry for the style, nice nutty character, soft vanilla, roasty final. Ok beer, but nothing special.

Bottle - Dark chocolate and vanilla with some booze. Deep black brown with a small brown head. Heat, dark chocolate and some vanilla notes. Finish has some coffee. Decent, but thin.

375mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of wood, cocktail barrels, some light burnt caramel and roasted malt. Flavour is very boozy, with lots of wood, cocktail barrels, and tons of booze, with a bit of roasted malt underneath. Very boozy - the cocktail barrels seem to obscure this quite a bit. Fun, but harsh and too boozy.

Goblet at the brewery - deep black pour - this is an odd one - first off, the stout characteristics are great - deep, rich maltiness, roast, espresso, dried cherries, red wine-like tannins - the character from the "cocktail" barrel certainly odds an interesting dimension, although I’m not sure if I like it or not - I taste gin, mint, aromatic bitters - a lot of the character kind of tastes like an Old Fashioned - these qualities don’t overpower, and as it warms, the character of the base beer becomes the focus (which might well be Avarice), with notes of dark fruit, smoke, dark chocolate - the barrel qualities mellow and settle in a lot better at this stage - overall interesting and flavorful - finish is a little too boozy, though.
