Having another dessert Stout, thank goodness it's Friday. Half an inch of deep brown head, didn't stay for long. Chocolate aroma, smells like brownies with bourbon on top. Soft texture. I immediately get the barrel aged bourbon, strong but not overpowering. The brownie flavor comes through, especially into the nasal cavity, but toward the middle it changes more into the overcooked brownies along the edge of the pan. Not the chrisp brittle stuff but just the edge where it's tough. The vanilla is there too, blending in in a supportive manner. Strong finish that carries the flavor through turning a little bitter at the last. I enjoy this slowly and experience an accumulation of the alcohol that seems to increase as you drink it. Halfway through this tall boy can it went from a modest alcohol flavor to downright boozy. All the flavors follow this pattern of becoming stronger. This isn't a complicated beer with a lot of twists and turns, developing flavors, notes in the background. Straightforward barrel aged bourbon, chocolate, and vanilla. It's all there and it's all good.
