Rum Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w/ Coconut & Hazelnut • 13.5% ABV
A dark offering from our barrel room (and our line of classic cinema villains of yore), Captain Howdy possesses beguiling aromas of coconut and hazelnut along with oodles of layers of chocolate, fudge and vanilla, all rounded out with a perfectly balanced sweetness. This is the second year using rum barrels with this recipe, adding a touch of dried fruit and spice like an Old Testament chocolate bar. Demonically good, this stout.

Thanks fonefan! (2024 version)- Pitch black colour, small head. Aroma is sweet liquorice, some fish intestines, mild soy sauce and some biscuity and cookie like tones. Flavour is dried fruits, some liquorice, alcohol, mild nutty and chocolate biscuity tones to it. Also a bit syrupy sweetness. Otherwise good, but what the hell is with whatever combination makes the fish intestinal aroma in it?!? As it doesn't feel spoilt in any way either...

Sample, thanks fonefan! Somewhat viscous black, no head. Cloying cakey nose with coconut and hazelnut butter. Very sweet with full body and rounded, viscous mouthfeel. Completely dominated by cakey chocolate and hazelnuts. Bourbony cloying finish. Rather vulgar bling-bling style pastry nonsense.

Intense nutty notes, some chocolate, hints of rum barrel, coconut and oaky sweetness, mild earthiness and hazelnut. Heavy and intense.
