3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20At Red Lion. Not a oak bomb and not very boozy. Subtle notes of both but it works well and makes for an easy drinking booze barrel ale. Sweet and slightly sugary from the rum. Dark amber. Serving: Bottle

There’s very little beer here and as I only ever write about beer I’m a little stuck on what to say. In these moments I like to turn to our great colleague, beer advocate extraordinaire, Mr Hank Rollins, who said this about some of the lesser writers on here...
Jealous cowards try to control.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.
They distort what they say.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.
Try and stop what we do.
Rise above,
when they can’t do it themselves.
We are tired of your abuse.
Try and stop us, it’s no use.
Society’s arms of control.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.
Think they’re smart,
can’t think for themselves.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.
Laugh at us
behind our backs.
I find satisfaction
in what they lack.
We are tired of your abuse.
Try to stop us, it’s no use.
We are born with a chance.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.
I am gonna have my chance.
Rise above.
We’re gonna rise above.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Deep ruby mahogany color with a pillowy light brown head. Aroma of oak, creamy vanilla and a rum sweetness. Sweet roasted malt, creamy, oaky vanilla and a light tingle of hops and alcohol. Medium to full bodied with light carbonation and a finish that is a long taste of sweet, spicy rum. Definitely not a lawnmower beer but a great sipping beer to mellow out with after a long day.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20
Quite bitter, was expecting more of a sweet and spicy finish from the rum finish. Great dark slightly red colour though
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Somewhat subtle rum and oak cask aromas come through clearly in the flavor. The rum is actually quite present in both the nose and the taste, but the oak cask really comes through in the taste; too much so.
O - recommended for fans of rum and oak aged beers.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
@ Havregatan. Flaska från Systembolaget (20:-). Rödbrun färg, ganska söt, smakar lite choklad, rom och kryddor.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very clear deep mahogany pour with an average tan head that leaves a light ring of lace. This bottle is significantly light struck. Go clear bottles! There’s a definite rummy aroma with lots of cooked fruit and wood. Surprisingly uninteresting. A little better on the palate. Lots of toffee, stewed fruit and rum but the finish is all but non-existent.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A strong aroma of fruit, caramel and pear drops, very easy on the nose. This follows through on taste with a refreshing light bitter finish. An excellent beer and superior to the blonde and original varieties from I&G that I have previously tried.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a clear amber beer with a small, quick dissappearing white head on top. Aroma is full of rum, oak and spices. I always love the smell of rum in the morning and this is full of it. Flavour is quite sweet, definitely some oaky presences as well as a very spicey background. A bit watery on the palate and the finish should have been much longer, but this is still a very good beer and a very good surpirse.
