On tap at Drake's Dealership, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small tan head. Nose is loaded with boozy rum, with candi sugar, floral notes, and esters. Flavour is insanely hot and boozy, with a ridiculous amount of rum, followed by black liquorice, more booze, and nary a hint of any Belgian character. The rum barrel really dominates everything here. Too hot and boozy. Difficult to drink but it's fun in tiny doses.
