16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is vanilla, bourbon, nuts, and cocoa.Black with a tiny, quickly disappearing tan head. Flavor is lightly, not sickeningly sweet like a lot of pastry stouts. Light bourbon in the finish is nice.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is coffee and a little blackberry with a very light hint of vanilla. Black with a medium tan head. Flavor is light sweetness, a hint of tartness, and a prickly feeling on my tongue and mouth.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, without much of the coffee notes I usually find in Alesmith’s imperial stouts. Black with a medium cinnamon tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet with a lot of flavor from the 32 months in Willett Bourbon Barrels. Nice traditional bourbon barrel stout with no pile of adjuncts.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is oak, vanilla caramels, toffee, biscuits, and a hint of bourbon. Very dark, obscure except on the edges, hazy brown with a medium tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet with a smoothness I find in really expensive wheated or rye whiskey.

16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is coffee forward with some cocoa, vanilla, bourbon, coconut, and a biscuity note. Black and syrupy with a tiny cinnamon tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet but way less than most pastry type stouts.
