I think this is the right listing, but it might have been a different barrel. Pours black. Small mocha head. Aroma has sweet cocoa, milky coffee, sweet spicy rye. Taste could use more rich chocolate flavor. A little booze. Coffee, dark chocolate and rye barrel. lots of coffee. Dark roast. Some caramel. Just a big dark malt flavor. Smooth mouthfeel.

On tap a O'Brien's, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dry rye notes, a little bit of whiskey. Flavour brings out loads of whiskey notes, rye notes, and dry roast. Very dry and very alcoholic. Well-barrel-aged but very extreme. Good, but too alcoholic and barrel-aged. Decent.
