Tiny can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is complex, with lots of bourbon barrels, dark sticky sugars, and moderate roast. Flavour has a solid bourbon barrel character, brown sugar, some molasses, and a little roast. Some nice barrel character, but not super complex malts. Good but overrated.

Dark brown. This has a fair bit of barrel, light vanilla. On the palate, there's a nice richness, a thickness to the body. Light vanilla, a bit of chocolate, decent barrel character but honestly I'm not getting 3 years in Willett from there. Fits into the category of "solid beer, would be stoked if a local brewery did this."

Stubby can. Pours deep dark brown with a tan head. Nose has nice roast, bready, decent bourbon character. Flavour has rich roasted malt, lots of dark brown sugars. There's some bourbon character, but not nearly what I would expect from 3 years in the barrels. It's a very nice beer, but not great.

A short can, no ounces given, that I got from Half Time a few months back. A good choice I hope, no cheap purchase, but then I do like a good imperial stout or barley wine or a combination thereof. My Great Heights snifter ready to go, I make a pour. Dark mahogany brown body with a heroic and lasting creamy dark tan head of foam. I have to say the scent is pretty swell, chocolate, grain, dark fruit and malt. Good with the nose, even better with the taste. Dark chocolate, scorched bread, raisins, some booziness, a bit of raspberries, black plums and oak. Quite tasty, just wish there was more of it. In one can.
