Quite black. Pours thick and inky. This has a rich molasses aroma, light rum. On the palate, it's really rich, some burnt accents, dates, and some good dark sugars. A bit of chocolate, a touch of alcohol, and the rum just lends a little accent. This is very good. Very rich, with lots of complexity.

330mL can, pours jet black with a tiny tan head. Aroma has plenty of rum barrels, lots of butterscotch, a touch of vanilla, and lots of brown sugar. Flavour is very sweet, with sweet brown sugar, butterscotch, light-to-moderate rum barrel presence, caramel, and some dark dried fruits. Cohesive, delicately barrel-aged, and rich despite not being brutal. Excellent.

Poured from 375mL can (released June 2025; bb 30 June 2030). Very dark brown with small tan head. Burnt dark sugars and molasses, mild soy sauce characteristic, soft rum barrel, nicely balanced.

2025 version. Can. Syrupy black pour with less than a coat of brown head. Brooding roasty aroma with dark sugars, mocha, vanilla/ pepper oak. Really syrupy (more than any other I've tried). Lots of roast that verges on acrid but is tamed by heavy sweetness that is in turn lightened (a bit) by oak and bitterness. Good, but OtT.
