Bottle thanks to franksnbeans. Poured a deep brown color with a moderate, fluffy beige head that receded to a layer. Aroma of some charred oak, smoke, some bourbon, and light roast. Light, smooth entry leads into a some chocolate and lightly roasted malts, which transitions into a smoky, peat flavored finish with some drying oak. A bit thin on the palate, but I do like the light bourbon-oak finish, it isn’t over powering and adds some nice character. Thanks for the beer Beans.

Black colour with a light brown head. Roasted, light sweet aroma with chocolate and fruity sweet notes. Sweet fruity, vinous flavor with a light coffee bitterness and hints of wood.

Moderately roasted wood aroma. Black color with a little tan foam. Sharp malt beginning with a lingering spicy finish. Creamy palate.

12oz bottle thanks to mmm/beer. Pours black with a tan head and good lacing. Smell is of wood, faint bourbon and a smoky peat flavor. Taste is only a slight hint of bourbon but more of roasted malt and some coffee and tobacco. Mouthfeel is disappointingly thin for an impy stout.

Opaque black, small tan head. Woody-oak- a bit toasted aroma. Light palate for this kind of beer. Lightly roasted, chocolaty, vanilla and oak. Easy to drink barrel-aged stout.

Bottled (thanks Papsoe and jjpm74!). Deep brown, close to black, colour, small brown head. Aroma is peat, roasted malts, licorice and hops. Flavour is roasted malts, alcohol, licorice and some mild tobaccoish notes.
