22oz from the powerful tytoanderso - thanks, Tyler! Deep black pour with a modest head. Very fulsome aroma, and you can immediately tell it’s cold-brewed even without knowing. Something about that clarity, for lack of a better term. Strangely thin body, though, with a bit of fizz in the finish. Hard to compare with The Weaz, which we had shortly beforehand, but still oddly thin and with hints of tartness. Can’t even detect the barrel, really. Not a fail, but definitely a "meh."

Poured black with a large brown head. Sweet and very roasty with a large amount of old coffee. Mild vanilla and fruit. The flavor is tart with coffee. Not coffee that I would normally drink a cup of. Tart finish Medium body and warming.

Thanks to wetherel for sending this one my way. Very deep dark brown beer. The aroma is quite lovely. Sweet with loads of dark chocolate and vanilla over a sweet caramel/toffeeish maltiness. Soft sweet toastiness with a fairly heavy contribution from the barrel. Soft and chewy with a nice cocoa sweetness.

22oz bottle. pours black, creamy tan head. nose is very roasty, slightly sour, dark fruit, and vanilla. flavors is again extremely roasty and a bit sour, coffee, with an ashy woody finish. not very enjoyable.

22oz bottle from andrew. thank you sir...pours close to black with a light tan head.... strong aroma of roasted malt and coffee.... flavors of sour and lots of roast, chocolate, and lacticity. medium carbonation and not too much barrel but a lot of ash.

Bottle shared by BrianK. Pours a black body with a 3 finger dark coffee head. Look at this cascade. Chocolate, bourbon, light chewy chocolate. Big alcohol warming with some maple and wood. Licorice and some dark fruit as well. Very big and complex.

bottle thanks to bman1113vr. poured black with a tan head and some legs. aroma was a nice blend of coffee, chocolate, and dark roasts. flavor of coffee, bourbon, and dark roasts. light body and medium carbonation.

Sampled at the Bockyhorsey tasting. Black with tan head. Bourbon alcohol aroma and flavor for the most part. A sweet roasted flavor present also. Too much alcohol.
