Another review from October 2018 and the 2014 Catador Club. Once again, another solid offering.
Pours black. Thin light brown ring of head, 1/4". Not as impressive of appearance as caffe americano rum barrel did. Aroma is cool, solid blend of coffee, roasted malt, like tropical rum barrel influence.
Taste has me digging the heavy roasted malt and rum barrel interplay. This now makes 2 CCB rum barrel beers I like, much less on the same day, so they are the masters. Props for the export stout style, so many only going for the gigantic imperial stouts these days. Slightly lower carbonation on this one. Has some Russian Imperial Stout like ashiness, but largely the yeast, hop and roasted malt driven bitterness is largely fitting and melding with the other aspects of the beer. Good equal parts roasty, bitter and ashy. Small hit of a cola like note with a slice of papaya in it. Cool how you can simultaneously have ashy and oily going but it does.
At the end of the day, I liked the beer, didn't love it, but put some respect on it, its a subgenre stout style you don't see too often, and it works.

Poured very dark with no light passing through. Had a tan head that went away fast. Could smell dark fruit and something sweet. Tastes like how it smells, no sign of a barrel.

I've had the pleasure of enjoying this one a few times now, and it's amazing. I'm finding that I like rum BA stouts almost as much as bourbon ones. And this is up there as one of the best.
