This is the second Singularity Edition we have done. The concept behind this series is to source rare, extended-aged bourbon barrels and use them for aging one of our beloved stouts for a month per year that the bourbon was aged. This isn’t just to play on numbers, though. It also gives our fans a peek into how we review and taste our BA stouts using one of the most important ingredients we use in our program: time. Expressive notes of smooth-as-silk bourbon blend beautifully with the bitter-sweet chocolate, roast finish, and well-balanced body of the beer. The faint notes of roasted marshmallows and a perfect amount of oak make this a real treat.

22oz (thx, Ben M.D.!) shared @ Ryan's with Farees and Alex.
Aroma: bold, moderately sweet, American oak, fruity.
Taste: along the same lines, fruity, some toasted oak and brown sugars with candied caramel, very round. Not as thick as I would expect.
Overall: good one, but not as rich as MT could be IMHO.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Near black with minimal beige head. Balanced barrel showcase - bourbon, feint vanilla notes, very nice.

Intense barrel notes, bourbon, vanilla, oak, wood, chocolate, cocoa and sweetish notes. Pretty balanced and tasty barrel awesomeness.
