Optisch schonmal wunderbar, überraschend viel Schaum, leicht trübes Kupfer im Glas. In der Nase fruchtig, Beeren, Aprikose. Im Trunk schön cremig, Sherry, Rum, dunkle Beeren, etwas Aprikose. Alkohol ist sogut wie garnicht wahrzunehmen. Hinten holzig, leichte Süße, sehr rund, hohe Drinkability, sehr lecker!

Bottle - Crazy big rum notes. Clearish gold with a small white head. Tons of rum and heat. Not as poor as others may think. This is a bad combination of flavours.

Sampled from the tap at Happy Gnome. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is boozy and rum forward with sweet grains and a hint of grassy hops. Flavor is overpowering boozy rum with sweet grains underlying.

Bottle. A- Booze, citrus peel, rum. A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Boozy, cheap rum, bitter, sticky, resinous, pine, mild citrus. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Definitely a big bodied beer! Super boozy and quite a lot of bitterness still cuts through. A bit more than I prefer. Okay for me probably loved by some.

On tap at Flying Saucer - Raleigh, pours a hazy copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is like paint thinner, with intense rum barrels, booze and perfumey hop liqueur-like paint thinner. Flavour is almost as offensive, with perfume, boozy rum, and paint thinner. How did they think this is worthy of release. Dreadful and undrinkable.

Bottle from Boise Co-op. Dark amber with one finger fluffy head. Aroma is rum, and more rum, sweet, some fruity notes. Taste comes in sweet with tons of rum, obscuring most of the base beer. Sweet and boozy, not everyones cup of tea, I'm sure...
