Expert description of Rockmill Infinity Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Porter

Infinity Rum Barrel Aged is a powerful, deep and dessert-like Imperial Porter at 12% from the Polish brewery Rockmill. The beer shows how elegantly an imperial porter can develop when given time in rum barrels - the barrels leave a clear mark with notes of brown sugar, vanilla, dried fruit and a light tropical sweetness that lifts the beer's heavy malt profile.

Rockmill is a Polish "gypsy" brewery from Gdańsk that doesn't own its own brewing equipment, instead brewing at established breweries to focus fully on ingredients and barrel ageing. The Infinity series is the brewery's most ambitious expression, aimed at collectors and stout enthusiasts who love heavy, barrel-aged beers with dessert-like depth.

Long, warm and complex, with lingering notes of rum, dark chocolate and lightly spiced oak.
