Poured from 1 pint .9 fl oz bottle (side by side with Beyond Forever Blend 1). Very dark brown with small beige head. Nice bourbon nose with feint fruity vanilla. Floral, slightly perfume-y vanilla character with a touch more complexity than regular Beyond Forever Blend 1. Enjoyable, but still has a simplicity about it.

500ml (thx, Kevin G.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Side by side with a regular version (batch #1).
Aroma: bold, moderately sweet, nice caramel candy notes.
Taste: thicker than a single version, nicer vanilla, still have some soapy notes as a regular version.
Overall: good one, but again, I expected more.

500ml (thx, Kevin G.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees. Side by side with Double Barrel version.
Aroma: nice vanilla (and awesome chocolate from the bottle), some berries, American oak.
Taste: vanilla, kinda roasty, a bit soapy.
Overall: quality, but it's not very impressive IMHO.

Poured from 1 pint .9 fl oz bottle (side by side with Double Barrel Beyond Forever). Very dark brown with small beige head. Nice vanilla aroma on the nose. Fruity berry like vanilla on the taste, blends nicely, fairly simple, but solid.

Absolutely stellar. Everything you'd want in a stout. I've never heard of Mizunara oak before but it was a good choice for aging.

Sample during "Farm Fest 2025 (Friday VIP)" on 07/04/2025. Black pour with some mahogany around the edges, and a thin light beige head that diminishes quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of bourbon, malt, oak and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, chocolate malt, anise and ripe fruits. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Very good all around.
