500ml @ Phill's shared with Farees, Josh, and Ryan. Side by side share of II, III, and IV.
Aroma: inky, a bit sweet, noticeable barrel.
Taste: along the same lines, inky, roasty, some dark fruits. Finishes with roasty bitterness.
Overall: pleasant, tastes smoother than II and III to me.

Dark brown. Similar fruity, roasty base but there’s more nuttiness to this aroma. The barrel is balanced here. The base is still a bit light, so the barrel lacks integration.

Dark brown. A touch fruity, light roast on the nose. On the palate, this is also fairly light. The barrel is a bit rougher around the edges, but it’s a bit better integrated - some soy sauce and toffee sugar notes come out a bit.

Dark brown. The aroma here is fruity, with a bit of roast. Medium body for style, a bit slick from lack of carbonation. The barrel is okay - but there’s something here where the sugars aren’t rich enough so the barrel sort of sits over top in a hot, non-integrated way.

500ml @ Phill's shared with Farees, Josh, and Ryan. Side by side share of II, III, and IV.
Aroma: inky, some roasted malt and sweetness, a bit of fruity character.
Taste: along the same lines, dusty, a bit smoky, noticeable sweetness and bitterness. Finishes with some black chcocolate notes.
Overall: quite good, but that inky roasted bitterness is not really my thing.

Poured from 500mL bottle - side x side x side with Blend II and IV. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. The woodiest and booziest of the three, the base also seems to have less complexity despite presumably all being the same base. Hot and a bit thinner, my least favourite of the three. Okay.

Poured from 500mL bottle - side x side x side with Blend II and III. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Woody bourbon, boozy, some dark molasses underneath. This is the most complex of the three, quite enjoyable.

Poured from 500mL bottle - side x side x side with Blend III and IV. Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Mild woody bourbon, light booziness, feint chocolate. Quite nice, just under the Heaven Hill barrel in my opinion based on these three.

Dark brown. Thin head. This one's fairly boozy on the nose, but with a touch of apple. Light body, thin, and ultimately dominated by apple brandy. So a light-bodied, alcoholic fruity barley wine. It's not a bad beer, there's some good complexity but it seems like they left some upside on the table here.
