This collaborative Imperial Stout matured for 11 months in American oak dark rum barrels, resulting in a luxurious and multifaceted sensory experience. The aroma is dominated by deep roasted grains and rich molasses, transitioning into a palate defined by toffee and dark rich fruits. The rum barrel influence provides a sophisticated layer of spicy vanilla and caramelized sugar that complements the creamy, milk stout base. This full-bodied beer balances its 11.2% strength with a velvety texture, finishing with a lingering, warming complexity that highlights the harmonious marriage between the robust malt profile and the spirit-soaked wood.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). It features a persistent, deep tan head with moderate retention and visible legs that cling to the glass, highlighting its high viscosity.
Aroma.High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and black licorice. Prominent esters of plum and raisin are joined by American oak notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, and a distinct dark rum presence.
Taste.An initial impression of intense cocoa and toffee leads into complex flavors of molasses and rum-soaked dark fruits like figs and prunes. Medium bitterness provides a counterpoint to the residual sweetness, while the finish is long, warming, and bittersweet with a smooth roasted character.
Mouthfeel.Very full-bodied, chewy, and luscious with a velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, providing a luxurious sensation without harshness.
