Brewery draught, 12/28/22. Dark. Undetermined clarity. Beige head shows moderate retention. Nose is all rum but it's lovely. Spicy notes with molasses and brown sugar. Not boozey. Clean, though lacking a bit in malt richness. Soft, lightly malty with good sweetness up front turning to rum spice and dryness, moderately watery and thin on the finish with a bit of alcohol. They're definitely on the right track, just need to nail down those double boils or something like that. Beers are all clean and dry and the barrel character here is great.
