7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 8
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.

Pours a jet black color body with a short-lived brown head. Medium to low carbonation. Tobacco, vanilla, oak, prunes on the nose, chocolate, tonka. In the aroma feels more barrel than adjuncts driven, but everything is perceivable. Adjuncts dominate more in taste. A lot of vanilla and/or tonka, chocolate, cocoa, dark fruits, tobacco, misc spirits, a bit dry, maybe roasty is the finish. Sort of medium body and thin mouthfeel.

Not that bad adjuncts game, against weak barrel and the usually weak Mlinarica Imperial Stout body. Among better Mlinarica Imperial Stout releases, yet barely average stuff in genera
