Thin head. Smell is sweet licorice, oak, vanilla, toasted malt and wood, prunes, and figs. Taste is long lasting bourbon heat with notes of sweet chocolate, molasses, and finishes with a strong booze note. Full bodied mouthfeel with low carbonation. Dry alcohol finish. Overall, very good and a huge improvement on Batch 9000 between the mellowed aging and added barrel character.

At first I was all about this beer but it wears down quickly. Nose is rich and fruity w lots of booze. Not really a typical stout flavor profile more like a barley wine. Tough to drink a whole glass.

Strong aroma, dark appearance and complex taste with a near perfect warming mouthfeel.

tap on Feb 23 at Trion - Pours black with a very small tan head. It smells boozy and mostly of bourbon. The flavor features a strong bourbon character with dense, rich dark malt and alcohol. It has a very full body and a long, roast, boozy, bourbon finish. The bourbon really dominates so fortunately I like bourbon. It’s hot. Perhaps the abv has gotten too high. It’s tasty now though I think it will age, mellow, and be better.

Thanks Matt! Aroma reminds me of BA2TD. Round bourbon, hearty grain roast, stint of sweet fruit, caramelized malt. Smooth as can be, magnificently crafted. Really damn good.

Bottle. Pours a deep and boozy brown with small khaki head. Aroma is caramel, bourbon and some chocolate milk going on. Taste is more school cafeteria chocolate milk, butterscotch, hot whiskey and some clove in there.

750 ml bottle shared at DLD. Bottle 315/1502. Pours a hazy, deep brown-amber with a small ring of off-white head. Bourbon barrel notes really shine here; vanilla, brown sugar, pecan, dark fruits (raisins, figs), and some chocolate. Medium-bodied, with a sticky-sweet mouthfeel and low to moderate carbonation. Glad I finally got to try this. An improvement on the original.
