From the brewer

Son of a Baptist is an 8% ABV imperial stout. It is not barrel aged like its father, Big Bad Baptist; instead its flavor profile was designed to highlight the complex and often unique flavors of small batch coffees. Instead of sourcing a coffee that would play well in a beer we sought out creative and innovative roasters, then asked them which beans they’re passionate about. Each resulting release of Son of a Baptist is widely different depending on the coffee selected. Some are fruity and sweet with notes of jam and chocolate, others are rich and earthy with a big roasted finish. Each limited release will return to the Roaster’s home market where the beer and the coffee can be sampled side by side.

So... surprisingly, this was a non barrel-aged beer made with barrel-aged coffee beans, which was weird. I don't think the bourbon came through, but maybe it did in the sheer mellowness of the coffee flavor in this beer. I don't like nitro, but I still loved this beer, with its creamy finish.
