(Bottle) Dark golden colour with foamy, off-white head. Turns a bit browner with the bottom sediment in the bottle. Malty, fruity, hoppy nose with oak wood, rum, dried apricots, fruit cake, vanilla, coconut and orange marmalade. Fruity, malty, sweetish taste with notes of oak woood, rum, dried apricots, fruit cake, chocolate, coconut, pineapple, vanilla and a mild spicy bitterness in a slightly boozy finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. A bit sharp and boozy, but quite rich and tasty. Nice one.

Interesting beer, warm alcool and sweet flavour of rhum and vanilla, toffee of bonne maman, not disgusting, good touch of hop, 21.06.19, at Epalinges, buying it at bootlegger or Sterk.

Bottle. Gold with amber tinge. Aroma is rum barrel and hoppy citrus and floral. Taste is the same. The rum barrel makes it great. Love this series.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Nose is all rum. Aroma is big rum as well with vanilla, candied fruits, orange, notes of tropical fruits, touch of grapefruit, orange rind, marmalade, more boozy rum throughout. Flavour is sweet with a fairly booz finish. Body is above medium. Very much like a tiki cocktail indeed, I understand some of the low ratings but I can't help but kinda like this monstrosity.

(Keg at Oluthuone Haavi, 20221228) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had wood, vanilla, malts and toffee. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were wood, malts, caramel, pine, grass, booze and bitterness. Aftertaste was woody, hoppy, boozy and bitter. An interesting blend of barrel notes and a boozy hoppy brew.
