Bottle shared at Dangerous Bottleshare #8. Alright, so, I’ve been looking forward to this, like, a lot. Lets see what all the fuzz is about! Pours pitch black with a dense mocha head. Has some whipped cream-like white parts in the head aswell? Never seen anything like this! Aromas of vanilla, cocoa, chocolate, lots of coffee, cinnamon, rum, raisins, roast, liquorice, soy. Holy shit! The aroma of this is out of this world. Taste is coffee forward as fuck, roast, lots of vanilla, dark chocolate, filled chocolates, fudge, some cinnamon, savoury notes, liquorice, salty caramel. This is too good! I need an El Cat membership and CCB close to me to get more of this - now!

Much thanks to Kermis! 750 ml. bottle sampled. This is not beer, this is everything that love about desert in a glass, pretty much sheer perfection! Pour black with a very dark mocha / chocolate mousse. Nose is massive pralines, amazing thick sweet chocolate mousse, sweet coffee beans, sweet chocolate. This is basically incredible thick pralines with amazing coffee beans layered on top. Taste is similar very sweet pralines, mocha, chocolate mousse, vanilla, sweet coffee beans with only a small touch of roast from coffee beans, vanilla, warming, even more pralines, light warming complimentary touch, thick chocolate syrup, people called it boozy but it wasn’t for me,…. Thick amazing viscous body, chocolate syrup. So much amazing pralines, light coffee beans, amazing integrated barrel, sugar,… So much pralines, so good.

750ML Bottle, 6 ounce pour. Split a few ways but I couldn’t help take a huge pour on this one.
A - This is possibly the darkest stout I’ve ever had. Pitch black, zero light transfer. Not only that, a 4 finger black head that fades over the course of like 5 minutes. Looks like melted ice cream.
S - Smells very good. A lot like vanilla ice cream and the rum is for sure very apparent and a nice compliment to the sweet dessert like base beer but I don’t get as much coffee aroma.
T - Sweeter than the base, rum starts in the middle and lingers and the roasted qualities of the base are very subdued. In fact, there’s not an overwhelming coffee taste anymore. More light and less acidic. Vanilla is still very apparent. The rum adds a lot of depth
M - Dense, thick, a lot of carbonation.
O - This is a fantastic Imperial Stout. Wow.
Bottle. Pours black tan head. Nose/taste of coffee, dark roast chocolate, rum, oak, cacoa nibs and vanilla beans - full body.
