Aug 20, 2008 750ml bottle sampled side by side with Bourbon barrel and Wine barrel. Thanks Axilla. The only one that didn’t spew when opened. Poured cloudy brown in color with a small beige head. Aroma of initially of straight rum, even almost some vodka. Notes of smoked malts present. Taste comes in very sweet at first with dry finish. Flavors of smoked malts, burnt caramel, and a little raison. Smoothed out a bit after sitting for 15 minutes.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark brown to black in color, some what clear, heavy carbonation. Smell is sweet, alcohol, raisans, chocolate, and smoke. Taste is dark fruits, alcohol, and rum. Very bubbly.

Aug 5, 2008 bottle thanks to thebeercellar. black pour with a nice cream colored head. sweet sugar and wood on the nose along with some rum in the background. the rum shows through quite a bit honestly and leaves the roastiness for last. the rum really coats the mouth in the aftertaste and kind of puts the beer down a few for me.

Jul 30, 2008 Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a thin froth of clumpy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet caramely malts and good oaky rum notes with a hint of lightly tart fruits. Body starts with a nicely dissolved carbonation and good sweet caramel notes with a decent amount of fruity tartness toward a drier, bittersweet finish. A pretty nice, well-balanced brew.
