A 44P OG Double Barrel Belgian-style Imperial Stout fermented with our house blend of wild yeasts, aged 12 months in Jamaican Rum Barrels prior to being aged an additional 24 months in used Bourbon Barrels, exuding flavors of brown sugar, chocolate covered raspberry, oaky vanillin, and chocolate covered espresso bean, layered over a full and silky mouthfeel

On tap at Webb’s City Cellars, pours jet black with a few bubbles of brown head. Aroma is exquisitely complex, with lots of rum barrel expression, Belgian yeast, dark red fruits, dark sugars, and wood. Flavour is over the top, with a super thick mouthfeel that overrides everything—damn, that’s actually too thick (how did this not ruin their fermenters?). There’s lots of rum, dark fruits, some Belgian and wild yeast. A hit too brutal flavour-wise and way too thick (not in the smoothie sense but just too dense). Good but this actually needs amping down.

Draught at source: still black. Oily as all hell. Aroma is wood, rum, vanilla, chocolate, loads of all of all of the above. Excessively decadent and rich. Super thick. Quite sweet. One of the more over the top beers I have had in my life.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, coffee, some ashes, mild toffee and some burnt nutty tones. Flavour is liquorice, black berries, coffee, some ashes, burnt nutty tones with some burning alcohol and some almost burnt wooden tones. Really thick palate. After the burn from alcohol and all the sweetness lays down, there's a short moment of some peanut buttery tones to it.

Draft at $3 an oz it almost didn't get ordered luckily Ibrew2or3 did: Poured a pitch black with maybe a couple bubbles if that of a head. Aroma is huge barrel, vanilla, chocolate, boozy. Taster was the most complex tongue feel since trying Närke Kaggen Stormaktsporter, it seemed to evolve with chocolate, roast, toffee, boozy, woodsy, alcohol, sweetness in there as well. Literally, I identified a difference in every sip.
