4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
12 ounce bottle- pours out a really beautiful auburn color with a thin white head, very attractive in a pub glass. Aroma was sweet, a quirky mix of wood and candied berries. Tastes of apples and brown sugar, very enjoyable. Mouth filling and smooth. A very nice brew with a wonderful potential, I’ll be looking for this one again.

Not quite as good as oak aged, but ok. Alcoholic strength is a little too obvious, and this goes out of taste to the whole.

A pretty sweet flavor with sugary and slight fruity notes. Dark brown in color with a white head.

(bottle) Clear deep red brown with pale tan head. Lovely aroma with vanilla, dried fruits. Medium to full bodied with nice bright carbonation. Rich and complex flavour. Sweet toffee and vanilla with raisins and rum appearing in the finish. Excellent.

Very dark and potent version of the classic oak aged beer. Can definitely taste the rum and molasses in amongst the smooth vanilla and toffee notes. But somehow not quite as good as the original.

miraculously unskunked despite clear bottle. brown with small head. rummier with less vanilla than regular oak aged. the rum seems to hide a lot of what makes the original so tasty.

Bottle. Pours clear dark reddish brown with small non-lasting white head. Aroma is melon, peach, banana, vanilla, caramel, malt, dough and mild cheese. Hints of coffee. Taste is medium bitter and light sweet. Body is oily with lively carbonation. Finish is long, bitter and sweet, with notes of caramel, licorice, coffee, cream and brown sugar. Refreshing yet complex beer.

Nice beer with woody aftertaste. I miss a bit more taste of malt, but the warmth of alkohol in the end is just perfect.

Pours a clear and dark copper beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, caramel, rum and notes of alcohol. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness and a low level of carbonation. Overall an average beer.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at home. In the glass the beer has a clear nut-brown colour with a pretty big light beige head. The aroma is characterized by sweet malt, caramel, and some roast and alcohol. The taste is quite sweet with a touch of caramel, salty licorice, sweet biscuits, and a little bit roast again. The beer feels quite soft, smooth and silky in the mouth, and holds very little bitterness. A very easy-drinking beer. It appears to me as a sweeter type of British ale.

Sötét borostyán színnel ragyog poharunkban ez a sör, aminek tetején egy közepes méretű, sárgás színű hab csücsül, ami elég hamar nyugovóra tér és csak egy vékony lepedőt hagy maga után. Illata intenzíven rumos, mazsolás, vaníliás, karamellás és igen malátás és tölgyes. Ezek a jegyek az ízében is nagyon szépen jönnek és valahogy igen kiegyensúlyozottnak tűnnek, szépen támogatják egymást. Nagyszerűen érezni a rumot, sok mazsolát, vaníliát, és a tölgyhordós aromákat is. Közepesen testes és alig szénsavas, az alkohol szépen elrejtve maradt az alkohol. Utóíze karamellás, gyümölcsös és édeskés, enyhén száraz és lassan cseng le. Igen különleges és érdekes söröcske, ami a rumot és az édesebb söröket kedvelők között nagy sikert arathat, nem beszélve a kalózokról. Én szárazföldi patkány vagyok, de ez az ale nekem is ízlett.
