Bottle from Redstone Tawny amber color with a decent sized bubbly off white head with moderate retention. Fruity candy sugar aromas with hints of yeast spice and a very faint woodiness. Not a whole lot of rum or barrel notes on the aroma, but it smells wonderful. The flavor follows the aroma quite well. Caramel and maybe a hint of molasses sweetness with a solid bit of fruity flavor to counter. Mild spicy earthy yeast notes, and just a touch of wood tannin that ends up more as a drying sensation than any flavor contribution. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sweet crisp mouthfeel. Loved this beer, but felt the rum and barrel notes were subtle to non existent.
