Dark brown. No head. It's a bit thick. Some toastiness, light coffee, a bit of bourbon. This has a nice good sweet malt, good vanilla, light caramel. It sits in a nice pocket between being burly and refined.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany / brown with a small beige head. Aroma is somewhat boozy, with whiskey barrels, some subtle winter spices, and dry toasted caramel. Flavour is full of whiskey barrels, toasted dry caramel, booze, and bready malt. Lots of whiskey barrels, booze and toasted caramel to finish. Excellent super-strong winter ale.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Very dark brown with very minimal beige head. Mild rye barrel, enjoyable winter ale. Okay.

Very dark, no head. There's a lot of mint on this, some chocolate. It comes across strong on the nose. On the palate it does the peppermint chocolate thing quite well, actually. The stout is rich enough, with bitterness and dark chocolate. The mint is still powerful, but I remain conflicted with this combination. I mean, it's hilarious to put this in Heaven Hill, but at the same time I think the barrel lends the right elegance to this. So it seems to sit at the high end of what one can do with this.

Poured from 473mL can. Black with no head. Earthy mint, chocolate, some feint woodiness in the background, not a ton of bourbon here, decent.

Pours black. Aroma a lot of dark chocolate and some mint and candy. Dark chocolate, notes of peppermint and boozy warmth. Wonderfully well-blended. Fantastic.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma is loaded with peppermint bark, bourbon barrels, some cocoa, and and woody oak. Flavour is extremely rich, with intense peppermint bark, cocoa, bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. So much peppermint, chocolate and bourbon. Man, this comes together beautifully. I was skeptical of a peppermint BA stout, but this is beautiful.
