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.

330ml bottle. Sweet and heavy with banana notes, and stingy rum and booze. A bit unbalanced

Deep Black,opaque color and a tiny tan head. Intense nose of banana and dark chocolate. Smells a little artificial. Taste follows the nose. Finish rather short, Medium to lite body. A little over the top.

dark brown colour, minimal creamy beige lacing; aroma of dried banana, dark chocolate with banana-taste filling and some spicy alcohol; taste is basically the same...well, I would not say that it is not good, but somehow still one-dimensional with this full banana dominance (almost invasion, I would say) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Z51no1TD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qAI0rsgJ6E

Bottle 0.33l at home, Nivala. Colour is very dark brown with small slightly brown head. Aromas and flavours: Somerum, some chocolate, some grainy harshness, some ripe fruits, some sugary sweetness, roasted malts... pretty heavy but not so enjoyable. And yep banana too...
