330mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty exquisite on the bourbon barrels upfront, with a hint of vanilla, a hint of smokiness, and a touch of roast. Flavour is pretty hot and barrel-dominated, with tons of bourbon barrels, alcohol, light vanilla and a touch of peat. Heavy bourbon and woody barrels. Not the most elegant or integrated but it's very nice.

Nearly black. Just a thin head. Heavy bourbon dominates the aroma. On the palate, it's more complex. There's chocolate, vanilla/almond notes, and a more refined bourbon (compared to the aroma). Alcohol, sure, but I wouldn't say boozy. Solid - I'd love if there was another barrel of this that gets an adjunct treatment. Seems like a damn fine base that way.

Dark brown colour, not black. The aroma is malty, bready, with caramel, a touch of molasses, of cacao, and of vanilla. Full bodied, and soft mouthfeel; there is some dark caramel, dark sugars, burnt sugars, molasses, and a hint of cacao, not the usual profile for an Imperial Stout; there is definitively alcohol warmth, but it's not boozy, the alcohol is well integrated; notes of vanilla and dry cacao in the finish.
Aroma and flavour are not as roasty as most, common, Imperial Stouts. Very good.

330ml on Alex's porch. Appearance: brown with a tan head. Aroma: bourbon, toffee, caramel, moderately sweet. Taste: boozy, but quite smooth while drinking, lots of toffee and bourbon barrel, some dark fruits. Finishes with a slight hoppy bitterness. Overall: it's ok, kind of more close to European Imperial Stouts in terms of tasting profile than to American ones (which I prefer), but, of course, it is much more bourbon and barrel forward than European ones.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of soft bourbon and dark caramel. Flavors of nutty chocolate caramel, like Turtles chocolates, straight bourbon, and oily roasted malts. Bourbon alcohol is somewhat dominant by the end.

Poured from the tap @ Container. Black with minimal beige head. Fairly bourbon forward, nice barrel notes despite being a little hot. Mild chocolate and roast underlies, but a little unbalanced. With some aging the bourbon should mellow out a bit. Will re-try in bottle down the road.
