Tap at the mondiale 2014. Jet black pour, thick brown rocky head. Charred malt aroma, brown sugar, lots of mollasses, and quite a bit of sugary wood. Touches of vanilla, and strong espresso also are prominent. The mouth feel isnt as full bodied as i expected, and the carb was a tad low, but didnt detract. The finish was medium bitter, and has loads of sugary woody notes, the rhum seems to only be adding some sweetness, but it is bringing depth via the barrel. Woody vanilla and charred malts linger and are quite pleasant. Great beer.

A deep dark imperial stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, superb sweet chocolate malt with cherry blossoms, rhum, vanilla bean, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a beautiful sweet chocolate malt with loads of peated notes, smoked herring, vanilla, molasses, alcohol warmth, complex and smokey. On tap at brewery.
