355 ml bottle served cool into a snifter. Durand purchase and wax bottomed can.
Appearance - An aggressive pour yields a pitch black beer topped with a very dark brown head measuring a finger and a half. It fades within a couple of minutes with no lacing left behind.
Smell - Rum, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin filling with graham cracker crust. Maybe even some whipped cream on top. Top notch in intensity.
Taste - Some pumpkin pie with nutmeg and a bitter stout. Vanilla, rum soaked wood, cinnamon and sweet graham crackers fill everything else up. A small burnt edge to it as well. IMpressive depth of the flavor and sweet but not cloying. Booze is well hidden too. Molasses shows up on the backend too.
Mouthfeel - Very full bodied and with low carbonation, boozy-ish finish but expected at 13%. Some prickliness on the tongue due to nutmeg, cinnamon combo.
Overall - An impressive imperial stout packed with aroma and flavor. A great sipper in an appropriate sized can. Highly recommended and the rum influence is consistent but rarely does it obscure or take away from the base beer here and compliments ever so nicely. Probably the best of the Bestowed beers for me personally.
