Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #16 2019 vintage Marshmallow, bourbon and chocolate notes throughout the aroma. Taste has marshmallow and chocolate up front with the bourbon coming through in the mid-palate and staying though the end of the sip and aftertaste. Leaves a stickiness on the lips. The body is full with an appropriately low amount of carbonation. 2019 was a phenomenal year for this one, and while the marshmallow has faded slightly, it's still amazing. Even though the bourbon is present, you'd never guess this is 14.5%. Drinks closer to 10%. 5/5

Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #7 2020 vintage Marshmallow, bourbon and chocolate in the aroma. Taste has marshmallow first, transitioning into a flavorful bourbon, chocolate notes and a little bit of oak showing up in the finish. The body is full with a nice mouth coating mouthfeel and appropriately low carbonation. Simply delicious. The 2019 vintage is the best they've done so far, but every year has been phenomenal. 4.75/5

Advent Calendar Day #10 2018 vintage. Chocolate, marshmallow and bourbon in the aroma. Taste has marshmallow first, followed by chocolate, bourbon and oak. The aroma had me a bit worried since the marshmallow wasn't super strong, but it's definitely in the flavor. A bit boozy at 14.5%, but not distractingly so. The marshmallow and bourbon linger in the aftertaste. The body is full with an appropriately low amount of carbonation. The bite from the bourbon helps keep the sweetness of the marshmallow in check, making for a great experience. This was the very first year they made this beer, for either their 3rd or 4th anniversary party (I don't remember). They've released it every year since and it's always one of the best. While the 2019 vintage was out of this world delicious, this is still holding on very well. High 4.5/5

You ever just take a whiff of a beer and smile? I just did. Aroma is bourbon and marshmallows galore. Taste has much of the same. Booze is very well hidden. Simply perfection in a glass. 5/5

I'm ready for this one. Been saving this for a special occasion, and today's the day. This is a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with marshmallows. Bourbon, chocolate and marshmallows in the aroma. Taste has chocolate, bourbon and marshmallows. Just as expected. The marshmallows linger on the tongue long after the sip. The bourbon is just right with just a little bit of heat in the mouth and going down the throat, but that's expected at 14.5% abv. The chocolate is rich and decadent, more towards a dark chocolate, but with some milkiness as well. An outstanding, world class beer that I'm gonna sip on and enjoy for a while. I can't wait until they release this again. 5/5

Wow. Huge marshmallow and chocolate in the aroma. Same in the taste. 14.5% abv. Tad bit of an alcohol burn on the way down, but it's pretty much expected at this point. 4.5/5
