Loaded with unique, robust flavors, this Brown Sugar Imperial Ale was handcrafted and aged in Caribbean rum barrels for twelve months. Hints of Molasses, rum, tobacco, and coconut round this dark nectar into a delicious, drinkable Imperial Ale that pairs well with plundering, pillaging and pretty much anything else pirates are known for. Cheers!

Bomber from Tavour. Dark brown, clear, small fizzy head. Aroma is woody, malty, leather, brown sugar, hint of rum. Taste begins with sweet notes, sugar, rum kicks in with some heat, woody. Pretty smooth considering the ABV.

Bomber from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours darkly ruddy/coppery with a slight beige/tan head. Aroma of rum, darkish treacle, leather and brown sugar. Med ++ body - but not really full bodied. Flavor is nice rum, darkish treacle and brown sugar. Leathery notes in and out. It's far from dry, and not at all bitter. The rum and flavors tend to offset the malt/sweet. At least a little. It's extremely nice to drink. Heat doesn't seem bothersome. Some minutes later: There's actually a plummy dark fruit aspect coming into the long finish. Nice that.

Bottle @ Pre-Borefts tasting. Red-brown color, average sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, dark malts, bitter, malt bitter. Hmm to me it's rather thin in texture, heavy in alcohol and firm in carbonation, so I don't like it that much. 6-6-5-4-5=5.3 initially. -- Rerate 2021: definitely better. About a 7 now.
