Thanks Adrien for sharing. Pitch black bomber. this is an insanely dark beer. small espresso head that faded fast. Smells pretty awesome! Lots of bourbon, wine barrel, chocolate and fudge. smells a little bit spicy. There is a lot of flavor here. It’s very boozy, tons of chocolate. The barrel presence is shining though. The rum and bourbon is huge.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 10/27/2014. Pours fairly pitch black color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy tan head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, molasses, toast, dark bread, bourbon, spiced rum, oak, raisin, plum, light smoke, light vanilla, and roasted/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roast/bready malt, dark fruit, and bourbon/rum barrel notes; with good strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, molasses, dark bread, bourbon, spiced rum, oak, raisin, plum, light smoke/char, light vanilla, and roast/oak earthiness. Fair amount of roast/char bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toast, moalsses, dark bread, light smoke/char, raisin, plum, spiced rum, bourbon, oak, and roast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, dark fruit, and rum/bourbon barrel flavors; with a great roasted bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very creamy, smooth, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is fairly well hidden with a fair amount of warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible double barrel aged imperial stout. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt, dark fruit, and bourbon/rum barrel flavors; and fairly smooth to sip on for the huge ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Pours black into a snifter. Mocha head with medium retention recedes leaving scant lacing to mottle surface. Molasses, vanilla and oak aromas. Thick with sweet vanilla and toffee upfront turning to hot chocolate before the lasting rum burn.
