Delicious imperial stout with strong rum notes balanced with chocolate and Bourbon notes. Smooth, very little head and light carbonation. Very reminiscent of Firestone Walker Parabola, but at a fraction of the price. An excellent brew at a great price.

Poured moderately hard from a tall can into a snifter glass, forming a finger of tan head that soon faded to moderate lacing on a deep brown body. Smell is delicious rum with some bourbon. Taste is more bourbon forward, especially while cold. Rum comes to the front as it warms. Nice stout background, but mostly just an excellent balance of bourbon and rum. Just shy of medium bodied with light carbonation. Super good bourbon aged stout, and a pretty good rum flavor, which is not commonly used with stouts.
