We blended rhum agricole and bourbon barrel-aged versions of this sought-after imperial stout and then added an epic amount of coconut, Ugandan and Papua New Guinea vanilla, and some demerara sugar. The rhum barrels and Demerara bring a deeply-reduced, dark sugar taste, with the vanilla, coconut, and bourbon bringing tons of dessert character to wrap the whole thing up.

22oz bottle pours out black topped with a small tan head. Nose is great big chocolate covered coconut candy toasted nuts vanilla. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate rich roast malts toasted coconut and vanilla. Plenty barrel balance also.

Dark brown. No head. This is sticky on the nose, then a sweet and decadent coconut and evaporated milk aroma comes in. On the palate, very sweet. Again, lots of coconut, dark sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla, almonds, just a big pile of tasty sweet stuff.

On tap at Modern Times - Encinitas, pours a filthy dark brown / black, no head. Aroma is decadent, with insane amounts of coconut, vanilla and chocolate, followed by loads of rum. Flavour is intensely sweet, with a ridiculous amount of rum-soaked chocolate, burnt sugars, coconut and diabetes level sweetness. Certainly dessert-like but it's just too sweet to be drunk in more than 1-2 oz at most. Excellent for what it is.
