473ml can. Pours a hazy pale gold with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick curtains of lace. Aroma of wheat malt, Belgian yeast, black pepper and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, Belgian yeast, apricot, black pepper, a slight hint of smoke and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable. Pretty solid.

Black colour. Sourish Stout, not very good, this may not be intended.

Dark amber-brown. Thin head. On the aroma it has a bit of the barrel, some toast. It's thin, probably because aging an oatmeal stout doesn't make sense. The barrel comes through, but the oatmeal stout kind of gets crushed, has some tartness, some fruit. Doesn't improve the beer.

473mL can, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out gentle dark fruits and light oats -- not getting much barrel. Flavour has some subtle tartness, light oats, no barrel character. Yeah, this is infected, but not egregiously so. It's light-bodied, almost lifeless. The barrels are not detectable at all. 1) Why would you barrel aged a 6% stout? 2a) Didn't they realize this is sour/infected?; 2b) Did they care? 3) This is a useless creation. 4) Who's the target market for garbage like this? 5) Don't buy this.

Dark mahogany colour, compact head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel, wine sauce. Good body strength; it has the flavour of many American Barley Wines, more caramel than malt, it has a vibrant vinous note, stewed fruits, grape jelly, and alcohol warmth.
Well made.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear-ish amber with small beige head. Toffee and caramel with feint rum note, gentle wood, background of mild dried fruit, a slight nuttiness.

Dark amber. Not much head. There's caramel, figs, a little candied orange. On the palate, similar caramel, toffee sort of malts, medium bitterness, more of that candied orange, with a hint of almond, walnut, it's fruity but balanced. Complex in the sense that there's a lot going on. It sort of comes together, though. Not magically, but I like it.

Dark mahogany colour; compact beige head. Weird smell, pork meat, light spices. Sweet caramel flavour, a bit jammy (this could be from the porto barrel), warming alcohol.
Not bad.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark mahogany color with moderate head that settles fairly quickly. Aromas of caramel, bready malts, oaky rum, soft bourbon and dark fruit. Flavors of dry caramel, sweet bourbon, soft oaky port, fruity rum, raisins and doughy malts. Lots going on. Warm oaky finish which seems to be from the rum…

473 ml can. Pours a deep dark mahogany with moderate head. Aromas of mineral water, caramel, nougat, oaky port, and toasted malts. Flavors follow same; with a little vinous oak and dusty dark fruit. Quite dry with an odd mineral/metallic element. OK but pales in comparison with Woolly Bugger.
