Bottle shared by CLW—thanks, Chris! Opaque black with nice viscosity. Aroma is strong Elijah Craig, toffee. Taste is strong Elijah Craig, chocolate, dark fruit, maybe hint of hazelnut. Silky smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Delicious and barrel is well integrated with the base stout. How amazing would this have been if hazelnut and coconut were more prominent?

Can from One Stop Market. Clear gold with trace sparkle, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma is wheat that has a Pilsner-like quality, lemon. Taste follows aroma along with coriander. Moderately thick texture, medium body, soft carbonation, dry finish as taste with lingering bitterness. OK but was hoping for more.

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Opaque, inky black with nice viscosity. Aroma is bourbon over dark fruit, caramel, spice. Taste is strong dark fruit, bourbon (with heat), spice, dark sugar. Thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Bourbon is a bit too prominent along with heat and hard to find specific flavors but maybe I have some palate fatigue after 15+ barleywines/stouts in the last 24 hours.
