Brewery draught, 11/6/24. Dark, ashen-tinged Amburana. Undetermined clarity. Small, light-tan head steadily to ring. Sweet, lightly spicy, cacao-brown-sugar forward nose. But the florals/acidity from the rum perfectly balance it. Good roundness, nothing jumps out nor is there anything harsh/dominant. Rum is big and floral in the mouth, leading to milk chocolate, a fair bit of spicy acidity and light earthiness. The flavors need a bit more time to congeal, though the beer definitely didn't need any more time on the rum. Just a smidge too much of that, though to its credit, it keeps it nice and dry.
