Tap at Kraft. Jet black pour with a tan head. Nose is intense spicy rum and wood, chocolate, lots and lots of it and coconut. Taste is immensely sweet but not cloying, showing rum and wood, chocolate, coffee, vague roasted malts, molasses, nuts and coconut. Closes with a long lasting, indulging sweet finish, has a huge, somewhat creamy body and soft carbonation. Lovely.

Bottle from midovark: pours blackish with a light beige head. Aroma is chocolate and rum, plenty of booziness. Taste is rich chocolate. Hefty booze. Body is thinner than it should have been.

Bottle, thanks to midovark. Pours black. Rum, chocolate, booze, raisin, apple, vanilla, quite hefty. Medium body. Fine.

Tap at BGB. Blackish body, off-white head. Woody, coconutty, very dry aroma, some barrel, dusty, nutty. Lean, dry taste, dried figs, carob, cocoa, pretty tasty all in all, well hidden alcohol, just not sure the barrel profile was all that beneficial.
