What's good for RJ199 is good for me:
Blackbeard's Bear Hug-Bell's Brewery
Not local!
Credit-RJ199's review and my Visa card
Style-rum barrel aged imperial stout with flavors (see below)
Stemware-Stella snifter from RJ199
Appearance-onyx; small tan head; some particles floating on top but not as many as the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Hornswoggler
Nose-dark rum; dark chocolate; vanilla; cinnamon
Mouthfeel-viscous
Tastes-complex interweavings of dark chocolate fudge, rum, vanilla, toasted coconut, wood, cinnamon and more rum
IBU-probably 50
ABV-a life threatening 14.4% (higher than the draft RJ199 had) and not hidden
Overall impression-pure liquid decadence; rum fudge in a glass
Ymm, Beer rating-unquestionably cat 3; happy to have 3 remaining which I'll share or
sip over the next 3-6 months
