I'm getting mostly bourbon in the aroma. Taste has a tasty, sweet bourbon up front. Some oak as well. Vanilla and some chocolate are also present. Bourbon is definitely the star in this one. Very good stout. This is my last can. I can get some more, but not at the price point i'd prefer, so I may just wait until this is released again to drink it again. Easily a 4/5
As I continue to drink this, there's a sweetness coming out that is kind of maple syrupy. I really like it. Adds an additional bit of depth to this beer. 4.25/5

Had this in Grand Rapids almost a month ago and don't really remember much other than that I liked it. I bought two that night and now I'm gonna get into one. I'm getting chocolate and bourbon in the aroma. Same in the taste. The bourbon is there, but in a flavor way and not a boozy way, if that makes sense. It's not often that I have a beer that has the flavor of bourbon without the bite of it, but this one does it. This is an incredibly smooth beer and I feel like I'm picking up on more of the qualities of this beer than I did during that drunken night. 4/5

Good balance of bacon and sticky sweet imperial Stout, that finishes with a molasses caramel note. Long finish.
