Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #2 Bottled on 12-2-2020 Vanilla first, then coffee and bourbon in the aroma. Taste has vanilla first, followed by coffee, bourbon, oak and chocolate notes. The aftertaste has vanilla and coffee. Slight bitterness in the finish from the oak, which helps keep the sweetness in check. There's a lot of different flavors in this that are all distinct, yet work well together. No one flavor dominates or distracts from the other flavors. The body is full, the mouthfeel is smooth and the carbonation is appropriately low. I seem to like this one more and more each time I have it. Hopefully it continues to get better and better as the years pass. Unfortunately, the adjuncts will probably fade with time, but we'll see. I either have 1 or 2 bottles left. High 4.5/5

Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #19 Bottled on 12-2-2020 Dark fruits, vanilla, bourbon and coffee notes in the aroma. Taste has vanilla, dark fruits, bourbon first with the coffee showing up in the late mid-palate and lingering into the finish along with a little bit of oak. The body is full with an appropriately low amount of carbonation. Very well made stout. I wish the coffee was a bit stronger throughout, but it's still a tasty and complimentary addition. High 4.5/5

Backlog from December 14th Vanilla, coffee and bourbon in the aroma. Taste has coffee, bourbon and chocolate. The vanilla is definitely the stronger aroma. The body is medium-full and the carbonation is lower. Good representation of both vanilla and coffee mixed with the base. High 4.25/5
