Advent Calendar Day #22 2019 vintage Bourbon, chocolate and vanilla in the aroma. Taste has bourbon, chocolate and vanilla. The bourbon is flavorful and somewhat strong with the chocolate and vanilla mellowing it out. The body is full with a smooth mouthfeel and an appropriately low amount of carbonation. My least favorite of the variants, but that's not to say it's bad. This is very tasty. Nice balance and tastes as advertised. 4.5/5

Chocolate, bourbon and vanilla in the aroma. Taste has chocolate first, followed by bourbon and then vanilla and some oak. Pretty much the same as the aroma. Some alcohol heat as it goes down the throat. Full body with an appropriately lower carbonation. 4.5/5

Chocolate, bourbon and vanilla in the aroma. Not much oak from the barrel aging. There's a little bit of oak, but not much. Taste has bourbon first. Following this, I'm getting chocolate that seems to be a rich dark chocolate. Following this, I'm getting vanilla and oak. The bourbon is very flavorful and just a touch hot, but it's fairly new, so that may balance out with some age. Pretty well balanced, with no one flavor dominating. Full body with carbonation on the lower end of medium. The chocolate is rich and dark. Probably my favorite part of this beer. Excellent bourbon barrel aged stout. 4.5/5
