Shared bottle at local tasting, as Porter House Barrel Aged Collection Celebration Stout, Limited Edition. ABV is 11%. Pitch black colour, thick brown head. Oaky and vinous aroma, notes of vanilla and Irish whiskey. Strong oaky, vanilla and whiskey flavour, some chocolate too. Excellent beer.

De Tercertiempocervezas. En copa Teku. Viendo La Liga de las Justicia. Agradable perfil a bourbon y barrica, quizas no al nivel de los mejores exponentes del genero, pero bastante rica y con el abv bien oculto

Thanks wordemupg! Cool pull-tap cap.
Appearance. Pours a deep dark brown, pretty close to black in the glass and topped with half a finger of light tan head.
Smell. Dark malts and dark chocolate, some molasses and caramel.
Taste. Again dark malts and dark chocolate, smooth whiskey, a little bit of molasses and old wood, and a trace of roasted nuts. A little bit of alcohol, but nothing to complain about when the abv is this high. Nice level of whiskey, nothing too strong or offensive.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, medium-low carbonation.
Overall. Nothing especially amazing, but really nothing bad about this stout which is what makes it nice. Easy drinking for what it is and nothing offensive about it. I would drink it again.

Pull tab top from a 330ml bottle given to me by the same Irish lad noted below a couple times. Poured into a Duvel tulip which revealed a light tan head of a half an inch. Body is deep black with a little red coming through when held to the light. Aroma is quite fantastic that is sweet with chocolate and dates. The vanilla really comes through but I'm not picking up any whiskey. Flavor is not as sweet with more sourness to it. One of the best finishing flavors I have had. Alcohol comes through a little but about as expected with 11%. Still dominated by chocolate. Mouthfeel is right where you want it, full and creamy with moderate carbonation.
Overall, a fine barrel aged stout that I would enjoy anytime without complaint. I would use it as an example of the style.
