Pint can pours with a slightly hazed deep copper colored body that has thin golden hued edges and supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up some plums, figs and dates as well as a bit of caramel like reduced sugars. The taste delivers fig, plum and date like sweet dark fruity esters intertwined with thin ribbons of sweet caramel. The sweetness is a little too forward and the flavors can benefit from further aging and blending. The rum barrel treatment adds further soft sherry like sweetness and note enough boozy heat to counter the sweet onslaught. All in all this is a nice sipper but on the sweet side.
