Did someone say cake? This robust porter has been aged in rum barrels and comes together with vanilla and natural flavorings to deliver a cake experience in liquid form.

Bottle. A- Almond, cocoa. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Almond, chocolate, rum, sweet. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- Nice stuff, but quite sweet. Lots of almond bark and extract that almost has a wedding cake flavor. The rum adds both booziness and sweetness.

Black with a small dark brown head. Extremely strong aroma you can smell across the table. Sweet with intense notes of chocolate icing, chocolate cake, vanilla, rum and coconut. Incredibly long finish. Full bodied. Too intense, really.

12oz bottle from my brother. Oily black pour, flat. Aroma features tons of vanilla, hints of rum, very boozy. Taste is sweet, brown sugar, vanilla, rum, and sweet, like I said. Chocolate pops up here and there, but mostly sweet vanilla.

This is a black beer. Sweet. Cinnamon. Sugar, and it does remind me of sweet white cake. Medium palate for the style.

355ml bottle, shared at Pien Shop. Poured pitch black in color. Pastry indeed. Chocolate cake, sweetness, coffee and some rhum in the nose. So much sweetness though that it would have been hard for me to finish the bottle by myself. Aroma was nice.

Taster. Not my cup of beer. Rum BA Cask strength is bit overwhelming.
