Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Strong rum barrel aroma with raisins, sweet malt, caramel, figs, dried fruits, candy sugar, toffee, candied fruits, and alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet with a little bitterness in the sweet boozy finish. Body is full with a sticky texture. Nice entry in a hit-and-miss 18 series, rum barrel aging yields some pleasant flavours and there's no unwelcome off-flavours. On the sweet side, but I like this one.

33cl can, BB 07/2021.
Cuivrée, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme au nez fin malté caramel, fruits noirs en rétro. Note plaisante de barrique, houblonné perce en rétro. Retrouve un bouquet caractéristique du rhum.
Palais est malté caramel, fruits rouges , note de datte et pruneaux. Douceur un peu mielleuse qui arrive en fin de bouche. Rhum plaisant avec un effet un peu sucre cristal en fin de bouche ainsi que de toffee.

Can. Light haze on this amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, pretty light, reasonable fine carbonation. Unsurprisingly, fairly similar to 18.15 and also unsurprisingly sweeter. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Smooth toffee, much less bitter than 18.15. Fruity toffee and a little fruity liqueur. Again, not that rummy. Again, smooth and pretty durn drinkable.

Can. Dark brown color, oak, rum and honey in the aroma. Malty sweet, boozy flavor with rum, soft herbal notes, abundant honey and oak. Full bodied, too sweet for me, the honey wasn’t necessary.
