Bomber at bottle share. Inky, slick black pour, small foamy head. Chocolaty aroma, notes of vanilla. Taste brings in some nutty flavors, roasty, sweet, smooth.

22oz (thx, Ben M. D.!) @ Ryan's.
Aroma: heavy, dark fruits, sherry
Taste: along the same lines, balanced sweetness and fruitiness with some oxidation added by sherry barrels.
Overall: nice one.

Dark brown. This comes across with a bit of chaos, an intense barley wine (not imperial stout, really, there's no roast) with dark fruits, intense sugars, a bit of vibrant acidity, a touch of chocolate, raisiny, some alcohol. Very complex. There's all that armagnac, sherry, yeah those barrels are intense, and bring a lot of vinous richness to the malty depths of the base. Fantastic stuff - I don't imagine this concept has been attempted all that many times and there are few people on this planet who could do it this well.

Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some barrel and bourbon vanilla notes, hints of syrup and earthiness. Pretty smooth and balanced.
