This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.
12 oz. bottle.
AROMA: Scents of brown sugar, caramel, and coffee.
APPEARANCE: Pours an opaque black with a small, dirty-tan head that dissipates quickly.
TASTE: Moderately sweet with an alcohol "tang". Coffee is the most pronounced flavor but there are undertones of vanilla and caramel.
PALATE: Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Finish is moderate with a sweet aftertaste.
OVERALL: The higher alcohol content adds a bit of a "tang" to the flavor, but it is fairly well balanced by the sweetness level. And the coffee flavor comes through without being too forward. Overall, a nicely balanced beer that I will be sure to enjoy many more times in the future.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 4/17/2017. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roasted coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of bourbon, coconut, smoke, raisin, cherry, herbal, and roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel notes; with solid strength. Taste of milk chocolate, cocoa, nutty medium roasted coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, and dark bread; with lighter notes of bourbon, coconut, smoke, raisin, cherry, herbal, and roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Light herbal/roasted bitterness and slight bourbon/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, nutty coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, dark bread, bourbon, light smoke/dark fruit, herbal, roast/toast/oaky earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel flavors; with a nice roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from roast bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, fairly creamy/silky, and slightly sticky/chalky/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming ABV for 8%, with zero barrel booziness. Overall this is a nice BBA coffee stout. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, coffee, and bourbon barrel flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on for the ABV. Not too big on the barrel or coffee presence, but still has solid amounts. Nice levels of barrel influenced character, but less so on the actual bourbon. More of a beginners BBA stout I guess, but still nicely enjoyable.

Bottle from Liquor Barn, poured into a pint glass. Watery for a stout, opaque black with a trace of beige head. Has roasted malt nose with a touch of bourbon. Flavor is consistent with the nose, though the alcohol notes in the taste is more harsh than bourbon-like. Unpleasant malt finish.
