750mL bottle, blend 2, drunk 9/30/23. Dark, maybe clear, no head. Pretty varied nose with all sorts of liquor-like stuff going on. Some vanilla, lots of toffee and caramel. Rich cakiness. Hint of alcohol. Soft, syrupy, crazy sweet. Some interesting barrel character tries to add some balance but it's just wildly sugary. No thanks.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate notes with some bourbon and other barrel-aged notes with some vanilla notes also perceptible. Taste is a nice mix of bourbon and rum notes with some woody flavors and vanilla with some residual sugar notes. Body is full with a nice oily texture with good carbonation and some warming alcohol notes. Really enjoyable BA sweet stout with balanced residual sugar level.
