2018 vintage. Dark brown, molasses, full body, lots of fruits. Definitely an approach to imperial stout that I enjoy.

Black colour; medium sized cappuccino head. Aroma of roasted malt, Brett, barrel (wet wood). Smooth but thin; some roasted malt, some whiskey (or other spirit), highly carbonated, with rather strong Brett character, and related fruitiness. Warming feeling in the finish.
I can't say it's bad, but I guess this is infected.

Jet black with a small bronw head. Cocoa and some barrel notes. Dark malts and soft mellow notes. An easy drinking but boring BA stout.

Bottle pour at Weathered, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has a floral-tinged barrel character and subdued roast. Flavour is a total mess, with chaotic, perfumey barrels, floral notes, and earthiness. Not sure what happened in the barrel aging process, but this isn't dialled in right.

Taster on Weathered. Appearance: brown with beige head. Aroma: strange candies and toasted sugars, some fruity character. Taste: along the same lines, a bit dry. Overall: it is strange and it's not even close to the base beer, unfortunately.
