2021 draught, 3/16/26, City Tap.
Oh yeah...that's gonna work out well...rich, rich malts full of toffee and caramel, are balanced by an equally rich, round, not too oaky bourbon. Tons of cherry-vanilla character. No alcohol, of course.
Pineapple and wood tannin leading into cherry, vanilla, big toffee and round, moderately spicy bourbon with a strong, woody, but not too tannic/acidic oakiness. So rich and yet drying out nicely on the end. No oxidation or really any negative sign of age. Like drinking a glass of juice.

500mL bottled 11/4/24, #174/1200, drunk 3/1/25.
Rich bourbon is exactly what you want. Spicy, deep, expansive, but not utterly dominating, leaving enough room for the chocolatey-fudgey malts. Bit of crusty, crunchy, minimally roasty earthiness, wood and mild fruitiness (cherry-vanilla-like). Kind of does one hell of an approximation of BCBS. No alcohol noted. Very aromatic and inviting.
Big chocolate-fudge-brownie-like character. Rich, malty, chewy with just an ever-so-slight hint of pleasing syrupiness. Excellent, rich, deep, spicy bourbon character to balance. Neither too much sugar nor alcohol and it's not overly roasty, nor is it dominated by the bourbon. I agree with Tom that it isn't the most complex thing, but I don't think it's trying to be. Just a classic (THE Classic) bourbon and stout package to make you nostalgic for the one and only BCBS. An incredibly masterfully-done homage.

Not your typical barley wine. Quite sweet, floral, malty and stingy with woody oakiness, spices, hints of apple brandy, vinous gin?, syrup, toffee and caramel, some prunes and figs, liqueur notes. A bit weird but somehow it still works surprisingly well.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a thin cap of a khaki foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some concave lace
Aroma: sweet notes of coffee, roasty tones of coffee, balanced dose of maple syrup, some clean caramel notes, milk chocolate
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together to the sweeter side but allows a nice flanking of some roasty tones to enter in; mild finish of coffee, maple syrup and some chocolate
Texture: between light and medium bodied; between sessionable and being a sipper; pretty darn smooth along the tongue - wow!
Overall: close to being a dessert stout but honestly I can see this as an oatmeal stout and would welcome this again.

Can to stange.
Appearance: glossy yellow with some transparency closer to the sides of the glass, two and a half fingers of white foamy head slipped off nicely to leave some light messy lace.
Aroma: lemon zest, coriander, sour-ed wheat, light notes of lime then a slight pop of salt
Flavor: mildly tart and sour up front with a subtle crisp zesty to semi-sweet tone underneath; quick finish of the sour-ed wheat with a brush of salt and lemon
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; appropriate smoothness along the tongue until the pop of the sour-ed wheat
Overall: as far as I know this is a very true to style Gose I woud very much welcome again; other than the lime which I guess that was a Barreled Souls thing to add and seemed to fit well
