Black body, with a small, tan head. Aroma of bourbon, booze, dark chocolate, molasses, coffee, soy sauce. Tastes similar. Medium, oily mouthfeel. Finishes medium sweet, medium roasty, medium boozy, with soy sauce, coffee, dark chocolate, bourbon. Not that unique, typical BBA Stout. A bit on the boozy side, while still well balanced, rich and warm. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15

2022. Bottle purchased at the brewery in November during a Disney trip....how awesome to have it so close. Pours black with a large brown head. Chocolate and whiskey aroma. Overt molasses and alcohol burn. Flavor is muted chocolate. Flavor and mouthfeel are rye based providing nice structure in the beer. Body is medium-full.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of nice bourbon notes with some vanilla and woody notes, nice black chocolate malt notes with some rye notes also perceptible. Taste is also dominated by bourbon and vanilla notes with some rich black chocolate notes with some rye barrel notes also perceptible. Body is full with a nice creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Well executed barrel-aged stout with some good drinkability.
