Pours 1 finger of foam that slowly dissipates, very dark but slightly mahogany when held to the light. Aroma is roasted grain, coffee, and a slight twang from the barrel chips. Flavor is a malty chocolate that quickly transforms into roasty barrel followed by a breath of vanilla and roast. Body is medium and nucleation is a touch sharp. Overall, this is a great start on a barrel aged stout as the barrel flavor isn't overbearing. I couldn't pick out rum from the barrel and, also, the body isn't as dense as I hoped and the nucleation is too sharp for the style. 4 stars.
