2018 release
I wasn't expecting such a tasty beer. Maybe I've had a bad run of "bourbon barreled stouts" that weren't some pricy $20/bottle special release but this one is smooth and very quaffable.
unknown release
Fairly thick, roasty flavor to start, with a middle body that is both unsubtle sweet alcohol flavor and a bit of lactic tackiness smoothening it out. Overall the impression is roast -> sweet -> milk-malt. Pretty good, but not in the top tier.
unknown release
On draft for the first time. It was still quite nice but not nearly as special as when I first encountered it, and it definitely (unfortunately) sat forgotten after trying the Plead the 5th.
2013 release
Still quite good, but there was just so much more of the candy-like quality than I wanted, probably because I had it right after a sip of some smoked beer.
2013 release
Maltier than other bourbon barrel stouts, which took a little getting used to. Almost creamy. But quite good.
