Bottle from the brewery
Amber colour, cloudy; frothy head. Malt aroma, also a bit cheesy (Parmigiano). Good body strength; the blend of caramel and rum is mild and it reminds me the flavour of a candy, and fudge; mellow vanilla notes in the finish.
Decent.

Butterscotch and barrel. Cloudy copper with a small white head. Light rum, barrel and caramel. Solid.

650mL bottle, pours an opaque murky rusted orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of rum barrels, with caramel malts, and dark fruits. Flavour is quite robust, with lots of rum barrels upfront, followed by dark red fruits, and caramel. The rum barrels impart a very pleasant character, though the body is somewhat lacking. Nicely done.
