Bourbon, dark fruits, oak and chocolate in the aroma. Taste has bourbon, oak, dark fruits and chocolate in that order. The oak has a sort of ashy flavor, which lingers in the aftertaste and adds a bitterness that works with the bourbon and chocolate notes.
The body is full with a thick mouth-coating mouthfeel and an appropriately low amount of carbonation.
One of the best distributed barrel aged stouts out there. Always a treat, and it's awesome that there's never any disappointment each time I crack one open.
From the mouthfeel, to the aroma, to the taste, to the longevity, this is a solid 4.75/5
