A rum BA Imperial Stout.
Taste: An explosion of sweet, overripe banana plucked straight from the fruit bowl mixes with hints of coffee and sweet Caribbean rum all layered on top of a smooth malt base. Oaky tannins and just a hint of lingering hoppy bitterness joins in, leaving you with an insanely decadent, dessert like finish.
Appearance: Jet black with a dark brown head.
Nose: Sweet freshly baked chocolate banana bread, fruity aged rum and molasses mix with subtle hints of smoke and foam banana sweets. Caramelised bananas foster and hints of warming mixed spice lure you into your first sip.

Bottle. It’s almost black in the glass, with an oily pour and a minimalistic tan head. The aroma is banana-ish, in a banana candy way, with a whiff of alcohol. It’s full-bodied, sweet and warming, with a nice carbonation level. Chocolate-banana candy-ish flavor with white sugar and some alcohol. Banana chocolate candy finish. Nice in a way, but way too candy-ish this one. 220716

From a 330ml bottle on 14/8/2022 (shared with Butz). Has a huge banana smell with some brown sugar. Has a huge banana lolly taste, along with caramel, brown sugar and chocolate. Finishes sharp, with strong fruity and roasty notes, with a good dash of rum. The mouthfeel is slick and a touch oily, the carbonation softish. Quite easy drinking for 13.5%. Intense, unusual, excellent.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of rum, banana, chocolate, caramel and licorice. Pours almost black color with thin quickly diminishing light brown head. Taste starts with sweet chocolate, caramel and nuts, follows by rich roasted malt, rum, dried fruity acidity and banana, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic and mild spicy, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick texture and average carbonation in palate. Rumbanana….

Thanks Jinroh for sharing! Taster showing dark brown with sparse latte colored foam.
The nose shows light notes of smoke and roasted malt.
The palate is lightly carbonated and full bodied. Banana forward throughout with a moderate sweetness.

Bottle. Dark body under a small beige head. Aroma has dark malt, rum and dark fruit. Taste is sweet with dark malt, some caramel, dark chocolate, dark fruit, Rum and warming alcohol. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Nice, sweet slightly pastry stout – did not really taste the banana here, more Rom than banana at least. Nice overall impression.

BD 290921. Black, small tan head. Smells banana candy, some rum, slight savory note. Not thick, but lovely smooth, very soft, tiny boozyness at the end. Taste is sweet banana candy first, some chocolate. Then herbal rum, bit leathery. Ends slightly smoky.
