Prominent bourbon flavor, lighter body, not super boozy. Vanilla is nice as it warms up

Draft pour at Fury for a Feast 2019. Pours a pitch black with a finger of beige head that dissipates slowly. Big vanilla bean forward nose with coffee, cacao & bourbon aromas. Roasted malt on the palate, big vanilla & bourbon that lingers. Quite warming, but the bitter malt cuts any sweetness. Bold, roasty and big vanilla notes. I like it.

8800th review! 22 ounce bottle into snifter, 2016 vintage. Pours dense pitch black color with a small dense tan head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, fudge, brownie batter, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Minimal booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, vanilla, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, fudge, brownie batter, and dark bread; with lighter notes of coconut, molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal, roast, char bitterness; and bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, toffee, bourbon, toasted oak, fudge, brownie batter, dark bread, coconut, molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, vanilla, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet, and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness and bourbon/oak spiciness. Light-medium carbonation and super full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and slightly slick/sticky/chalky/tannic mouthfeel that is amazing. Mild increasing warmth of 13.5%, with no lingering barrel booze after the finish. Overall this is an amazing barrel aged flavored imperial stout! All around amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, vanilla, bourbon barrels, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the huge ABV, with the mildly bitter/tannic/drying finish; amazingly soft/silky feel for the ABV. Insanely rich malt/vanilla complexity, with perfectly balanced barrel presence/integration; mild earthy hops and fruity yeast notes. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier quality style example as expected.

Bottle. Pours opaque black, small beige head, dissipates to some lacing. Aroma is bourbon, mocha, hints of vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter, lots of bourbon, cocoa beans. Vanilla light. Oak tannins. Medium plus body. Hot. Pleasant enough, but not top tier.
