500ml (thx, Jacob B.!) at Andrey's. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: smoky, grassy and inky, no bourbon. Taste: grassy and inky, some coffee, very roasty and bitter. Overall: no bourbon, no coffee, very roasty, ok, but not as expected at all.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet black chocolate notes with some bourbon and vanilla notes with subtle coffee notes. Taste is also a mix of sweet chocolate notes with some bourbon notes and vanilla with some subtle coffee notes. Body is about average with good carbonation with no real discernible alcohol notes. Enjoyable barrel-aged stout but coffee notes did not come through as much as expected.
