Dark roasted barley. Bourbon. Toffee. Char. Perfectly balanced beast. Might actually grow real hairs on your chest. My wife smelled it and backed away as if it were smoldering. At 19+ % it only tastes 12% and the bourbon barrel isn’t too much. It’s great stout. Collectible. Fun now, but really needs 5-7yr to calm down.

2014 rum barrel aged variant. 18.9% alc!!! This is big, sweet and boozy. Dessert beer for sure. It has complexity, but not on the level of the bourbon barrel aged original. Still has more balance than just about any beer in this alcohol range and it's a pleasure to drink. Will be better with some age.

Not really a beer, not really wine, not really a spirit, but it sure does taste amazing. Huge alcohol, but very smooth and sipable. Lives up to the hype. I had with kbs, drakes jolly Rodger, backwoods bastard, and this was so much more complex. The issue for me is whether that complexity is something I want in a beer...
