Bottle, 2015 vintage. Deep dark brown pour with a modest tan head and wispy bits of lacing. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, and bits of the barrel treatment. The barrel has softened the hops and bittersweet cocoa that I found in the base beer; flavor is more roast, oak, vanilla, bourbon.

On Tap at the Meridian brewery. Rich dark brown with a full dense light tan head. Soft roasted flavors and the cherries and peppermint come though just enough.

On tap at the Meridian brewery. Black with a fine tan skin and a thin sheet of lacing. Modest roast aroma. Flavors are again, modest and roasty. Some licorice and dark chocolate. Significant bourbon flavors and a fairly dry and thin palate. Not a huge Imperial Stout but decent. Balanced and easy. Would not have guessed the 10+ ABV

On Tap at the Meridian Brewery. Slightly hazy light amber/orange. Creamy sandy head. Light and dry for an amber. Clean and crisp. A little season al spice. Expected a little more of a winter ale character given the seasonal name.
