Draft. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, spicy hops, caramel, citrus fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of rum, spicy hops, citrus fruits, malt, and alcohol, leading to a bitter finish.

Sample at SBWF 2018. Amber with a small head. Sweet with citrus, rum, toffee and alcohol. The body was full and the finish with warming alcohol. Too much alcohol in this one.

Bottle. Rum, orange, caramel malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Hazy dark yellow with moderate white head. Moderately sweet rum, orange, caramel malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel and alcohol flavor. Good body. The rum barrel aging worked well with the I2PA.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Hazy golden, rich head. Rich aroma of marmelade, rum and coconut. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel.Honey and figs, marmelade dipped in lots or rum, notes of pineapple and coconut. Warming finish. Odd, yet quite harmonious. Interesting!

Flarra. Doftar svagt av starkvin. Ja eller Barely wine. Goa dofter dock av druvor. Smakar då? I munnen söt godis ja knäck smakar den. En jävla fin julöl blir detta. Efter några sekunder kommer rom i gommen. God strong ale hmmmm menar Dipa. Nää inte fan är detta en Dipa som sådan rätt dålig i den klassen. Men hade den klassats som strong ale hade den kommit bra till där. Ja nu betygsätts den ju i Dipa klasen
