Bottle, thanks to puzzl for sharing this spectacle. Black pour, no head. Aroma is sweet malt, nice spiced pumpkin, a small amount of roasted malt, and sweet milk chocolate. Flavor has hints of wood, lots of sweet chocolate, light roast, and a little bit of the pumpkin spicing is still there (although not as apparent as in the aroma). I enjoyed this style more than any imperial stout I have had recently.

Bottle from my sis, shared with a few folks. Delicious aroma, every smell yields a different flavor. Reads just like the label, along with some peanut brittle and potato. Body is totally smooth, very mellow, light spices and subtle milk chocolate. Not bid by any means, but very complex, relaxed, just a great drinker. Wish this beer was easily available.

Bottle, thanks to Andy. Not much head. Aroma is mostly Chocolate. Flavor is basicly what the label says. Its a bit acidic with still tons of chocolate. Not overly impressed.

I have to say that this was much better than the regular version. Something about the barrel aging really brought a lot out of this beer. The vanilla notes jsut cascaded to the top upon opening this bottle. Lots of earth and herbal spices abound as well, and then the pumpkin comes out following last of the bunch. The carbonation is smooth, and the mouthfeel is quite creamy, with some rich roasted chocolate notes.

22oz bottle. Pours dark brown. Light pumpkin aroma. Flavor is much more smooth than the non-Oaked version. Rich malt character. Much more balanced.
