16 ounce can into snifter, canned in 9/2018. Pours dense pitch black color with a 1 finger dense and rocky dark tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, coconut, toasted oak, biscuit, roasted nuts, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Light increasing booze in the aromas as it warms, but not overwhelming. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast bready malts, bourbon barrels, and ligh-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, coconut, toasted oak, biscuit, roasted nuts, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, roast, char bitterness; and bourbon/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, toffee, bourbon, coconut, toasted oak, biscuit, roasted nuts, dark bread/crust, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toast/oaky earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast bready malts, bourbon barrels, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet, and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness, and bourbon/oak/alcohol spiciness. Light-medium carbonation and very full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and fairly slick/sticky/chalky/tannic mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 14.5% and barrel booziness after the finish. Overall this is an amazing barrel aged imperial stout. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast bready malts, bourbon barrels, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on for the huge ABV, with the mellowly bitter/charred/tannic/drying finish. Not overly boozy/tannic on barrels, or bitter/charred/drying on malts/hops. Perfectly balanced between super rich malts, and bourbon barrel presence/integration; with restrained fruity yeast and balancing earthy hops. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier style example. Just as impressive as most of their other BBA stouts.
