Dark brown, not nearly black. Malt aroma, vanilla, alcohol, trace of dark fruits. Good body, sweetish; there are dark sugars, caramel, the roasted malt of a Black IPA, and the same bitterness. Not an Imperial Stout, but it's a pleasant beer.

Dark brown. Sort of a harsh bourbon aroma, but with a lot of chocolate character as well. On the palate, again the bourbon is heavy-handed, with chocolate and molasses undertones. A bit of alcohol slides in, maybe some light fruitiness. It's okay, but certainly seems to be lacking refinement for my taste. Would be good to know what barrel went into this.

500ml shared with Josh (thx for the bottle, man!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: brown with a beige head. Aroma: some roasted malts, a bit of dark fruits and sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, moderately thick, finishes with hoppy bitterness. While it's warming up more complexity shows up in terms of the caramel and dark fruits. Overall: It says it's a blend of the BBA and straight imperial stouts, but it looks like it's mostly the one from the steel as not much of oak is detected. An ok one.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark brown with small beige head. Roast malt, hint of chocolate and cola, just a touch metallic on the finish, not much bourbon character. Base seems okay, feel like the barrel aging was a waste.
