4 oz draft pour at Spacebar listed as Barrel Aged Secret Stache. Black with light tan ring, no head. Aromas of bourbon, chocolate, caramel. Tastes of big barrel notes including coconut and vanilla, dark chocolate, some oak. Medium body with a dry finish. Semi-creamy mouthfeel. Solid, I think this could use a bit less time in the barrels or I’m just not a big fan of the barrels used.

16oz can. Deep brown black body. Thin, fading beige head. Smooth and sweet, a pretty enjoyable Sweet Stout. The vanilla and lactose smooth out all the big specialty malts. A little overly sweet, not much going on besides the sweetness, no depth. Tasty, but not that impressive of a venture.

16oz can. Chunky thick black body. Big, steady tan-beige head. Roasty, oily aroma. Big in some respects, but kind of a hollow center, almost like a nitro. Thick, sticky specialty malt tones. The wheat gives it a little depth, Big and rich, approaching Double Black IPA. Solid offering, enjoyable.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at Ryan’s. Pours a deep clear amber with an ecru head. Aroma of vanilla. Flavors of oak, caramel, vanilla and whiskey. Quite pleasant boozy finish.

Sampled on draft at Dad’s Pub N Grub this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a medium sized creamy orange-beige head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy and a bit sour with a fruity hop presence. The flavor was very tangy with sour malts, lots of pine, a bit of lemon and an astringent presence. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Ok.

Bottle (Stache in the Wood - Willett barrel, Vanilla bean, and lactose - 5.3%) Vanilla, bourbon and light lactic chocolate malt aroma. Dark brown with giant light brown head (a bit of a gusher). Sweet light vanilla chocolate malt and sour lactic flavor. Body pretty light. Okay but not great.

Initial impression was great, after that a bit metallic. Nice looking beer, citrus / pine aroma. Taste is yellow grapefruit . Very short metallic finish.
