Barley Island Beastie Barrel Stout

Dark pour with a tan head. Aroma has bourbon and roasted malts. Simple but has nice flavor. Not too complex, good level of roast and some bourbon.

Bottle from Crown#6. Pours pitch black with negligible head. Nose has some decent bourbon, not very strong, accompanied by roasted malts. Taste is pretty bitter with lots of roasted malt and a touch of bourbon flavor. Flavors seem a little off, but it might be the lingering taste of the G.I. BCS I had two days ago (tough act to follow).

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. The look is brown to black in color with an off white head. The smell is coffee, malts, alcohol, and bourbon. The taste is coffee, bourbon, malts, chocolate, and good.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Black with a khaki head. Nose is coffee and roasted malts. Definite flavor of wood and roasted malts with vanilla in the finish.

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. Pours with a black body and a fading brown head. Aroma of barrel, alcohol, chocolate and vanilla icing. Taste is coffee, chocolate, wet wood and a bit of dark fruit. Light bubbles, thin body for a barrel aged stout.

Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Thick brown pour. Smells of chocolate malts and spicy coffee. Taste has some sharp chocolate and coffee malts. Not bad and leaves the drinker with a solid remembrance.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Fruit and whisky aromas. Small beige head. Black and rich on the palate with some alcohol present. Creamy and slightly bitter coffee roast finish.

22oz bottle from someone in my fantasy football league..payout from LAST year. Pours black with a huge head..a bit too lively indeed. Nice aroma of chocolate and bourbon. Smooth, nutty bourbon come on pretty strong with just a little roast. Lightly sweet dark fruits. Kind of all over the place. Too thin.
