Pours a jet black color body. Dark brown head, more than one finger, really good retention for this style of beer. Minimum to no carbonation. The nose is chocolate fudge, figs, tobacco, vanilla, more akin to BA Barleywines. Little to no roast. Taste is chocolate, vanilla, plums, figs, feels like a lot of wood, oak, drying, a bit acidic. Not fully body, somewhat thin mouthfeel.
This one feels rather disappointing, given the history of these two breweries collaborating and their pedigree. Too drying, acidic, thin, a weird misfire. Maybe it's the Whiskey and not Bourbon barrel not being up my alley.
