Our Single Barrel Materfamilias series highlights the unique qualities that each barrel type brings to the Materfamilias program. Aged for 8 months in Rhum Agricole barrels from Rhum Clement in Martinique, this beer gains strong flavors and aromas of fermented sugar cane, herbal vanilla sweetness, burnt caramel, and a classic rhum agricole funk. This special release is a look into the blending that determines the character of the ultimate Materfamilias release that also stands alone as a unique drinking experience.

22oz bottle. Poured out an opaque, jet-black color with a small, light brown head of foam. It left sticky sheets of lace on the glass. It smelled of rum, oak, vanilla, chocolate and toffee. Sweet rum taste with roasted caramel malt, chocolate, toffee and some vanilla notes.

Received from @jdell15 in NBS BIF #9. Reviewed 5/19/19. Thanks Jacob!
Printed on bottom left of label “Vintage 2019”. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 54 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. Final temperature 60 degrees.
Appearance – 4.
First pour – Dark brown, clear. Such a dark brown approaches opaqueness.
Body – Dark brown/black, opaque.
Head – Large (Maximum 6 cm, aggressive center pour), dark tan, medium density, average duration. Diminishes to an irregular eight to ten mm crown and a thin, nearly complete, cap. A narrow ring of tiny to small bubbles remains, connected to the crown by thin columns.
Lacing – Good. Wide band of tiny to small bubbles with many short stalactites and thin columns connecting to the remaining crown. This band begins to open to give an early configuration of “torn curtain” lacing. The ring mentioned above is nearly desiccated.
Aroma – 4.25 - Begins with a strong sweet aroma of fermenting dates and figs. The aroma weakens but remains.
Flavor – 4.5 – Now here’s something odd – rather than rum, the brew has a smoky taste very similar to mezcal! I haven’t consumed rum in a few decades so does that mean that rum tastes like mezcal? No alcohol (11% ABV), no hops, no malt, no dimethylsulfide, no diacetyl.
Palate – 3.25 - Medium, creamy, soft carbonation.
Impression and interpretation – 4.25 – Seems a bit thin for an Impy Stout but otherwise is both interesting and tasty.

Pours an effervescent & ebony tinged mahogany with a pinky of mocha colored head. A little lacing & head retention
S: A little dark fruit, some cola notes, a little vanilla, all peter out as this warms, a little booze surfaces
T: Oaky dryness, rum & cola, a little figgyness, plus vanilla up front. Barrel dryness, dark rum notes, raisins, figs once warm. Finishes with dark rum, lime, plus a little vanilla & barrel dryness, plus a little creme brulee'
MF: Medium body, slight carbonation
Had higher expectations for this, expected more body, more barrel, more flavor. ABV is well concealed
