On tap at Coast Mountain, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of dry earthy toasted malt, light roast and crusty bready malt. Flavour is hearty and dry, with a nice oatmeal character, earthiness, and toastiness. Very gently bitter, with a dry finish. Solid.

On tap at Coast Mountain, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is rather chalky, with a yogurty character upfront and chalky nonsense in back. Flavour is very yogurty, with lots of lacto, gentle sweetness, and some chalk. A kettle sour with chalk — that's everything that's wrong with modern craft beer.

This is basically black. The aroma shows chocolate, raisins, other dark fruits, wood and toast. On the palate, it's got a medium body...the base beer seems relatively light, but there's a bit of fruitiness and woodiness that makes me wonder if fermentation continued slowly in those barrels to get us here. Whatever the reason, I am thinking it needs a bit more body. The barrel may lend some sweetness but we're talking rhum agricole (~cachaca) here, not a molasses rum. It's lighter and fruitier than I was expecting. Probably closer to a burly Caribbean stout than what I was thinking a rum BA Impy would be like.

Bottle from the brewery, 1 year old
Black colour, medium sized tan head. Cacao and moderate sweetness, not very complex but I guess it's enough for the area of origin; the rum is evident, never the best option for an Imperial Stout though, spirit; body at European level, which means the finish is a bit shorter than you get with American Imperial Stouts.
Good.
