Wow. Thanks Craig W. ,this is terrific. A classic imperial stout, it would be solid without the barrel. But I’m getting lots of (bourbon, I think) barrel, plus what I think is vanilla, although that might be my imagination. This is better than KBS, IMO.

Bottled January 2019. Tasting more chocolate-forward now. Keeping my original rating—it’s still pretty great.

Hitting the spot, but some sips are too boozy, even after all this time. Overall it’s a nice velvety blend of sweetness and bitterness.

This is the original 2019 mother ship release, cellar aged by David Clifton. The bourbon on this is very light, almost unnoticeable. Other than that it held up pretty well

Rich bourbon barrel nose, b/w caramel malt & nuttiness w/ a hint of chocolate. Silky full body, light carbonation. Roasted malt bitterness on the finish, mildly boozy, w/ notes of coffee & chocolate. Not overwhelming, but a solid BA stout.

Didn't get the barrel aged bit out of it. Tasted like a regular imperial stout. Very disappointed.
