Bottle 319/350 from Triple Rock in Berkeley. Pours clear dark copper with a frothy beige head. Aroma of rum and toffee. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is rum, toffee and some oak heading for musty/astringency. Upon reflection there seems to be a hint of heat - tho it might be the astringency. Much drier than anticipated. Despite the maltiness. Rum and other things help the malt keep down sugariness. Tasty rummish sippery ale. Very enjoyable.
