Is this safe to drink.

I recently was looking forward to kegging my long anticipated Russian Imperial. I have been letting it age 9 months now and when I opened the lid to my fermentation bucket I discovered that it smelled of acetone and had a thin film with several tiny white bubbles on the surface. I am wondering if this beer is safe to consume and if it is safe. I have attached photos for your expert advice.

You should not drink that. Send it to me and I will dispose if it properly for you.

I'm kinda thinking that Russian Imperial Stouts should be aged in the bottle, like a fine wine. Kept in a nice cool and dark place until all the roasty toasty malt flavors have time to blend in with the alcohol bite and the hop goodness.
I do believe that what you have in your bucket there might just be the first Russian Imperial Sour that I have ever seen. It might just take another year or two to get really good, bit if so, it should be worth the wait...
P.S. I'd try it.....

Safe. Might be a little sour, but safe as fuggles.
