Brouwerij Emelisse's White Label Imperial Iced Stout Caribbean Rum BA is an ambitious barrel-aged stout from Zeeland, Netherlands, at 13.4% ABV. It marries the full, smoky malt character of an Imperial Iced Stout with the warmth of Caribbean rum cask maturation.

The aroma reveals layers of smoke, dark chocolate and oak, balanced by subtle rum notes. On the palate, an initial alcohol warmth gives way to full, sweet malt tones dominated by smoke and toffee. The finish is long and warming, a testament to both the high strength and the barrel influence.

Emelisse's approach is to experiment across cask types and ingredients to build complex, layered beers. This release exemplifies that commitment to depth.
