Smells amazing, with a strong whiff of Bourbon and caramel and good strong beer. The flavor is less-balanced, with an awkward cherry finish and a syrupy tartness that cloys in the throat. It wasn't bad, but if you're going to splurge for barrel-aged beer there are far better options.

I could keep nosing that beer forever. The taste is a real disappointment, badly balanced and none of the smell comes through.
