From the brewer

Brewed once a year, this beer is a strong one! A silky stout aged in bourbon barrels. Notes of roast, dried fruit, chocolate, vanilla, oak and bourbon balance this warming brew.

Who's been drinking this

2023 release
Unusually dark, latticed head, although apparently opinions differ? Chocolate, toffee, stone fruit, very smooth but also a touch tart. Delicious but tacky.
2020 release
Starts smooth and very tasty for a new vintage of BBIS, surprisingly so, but kind of loses its lustre through the course of a glass. The alcohol is very pokey and is quite dominant over time. Might need some aging.

Nice coffee flavors.
