Plantation rum barrel aged Quadruple finished with fresh ginger and lime to pay homage to one of our favourite cocktails. An idea we had with Pete from forest road a reasonably long time ago now, brought to life by the amazing Alex Kratena and very talented group at Plantation Rum. 4 People coming together to brew a quad for our 400th brew. One for people who love beer and spirits, don’t care about January and possibly those with OCD.

Bottled at 11.5% (09/12/17). It pours clear orangey copper with no head to speak of. The aroma is oily and unctuous, big vanilla hits you, then in comes the rum, sweet and tangy, brown sugar, dried fruits, fruit cake, warming ginger spice, gingerbread, lime peel and marmalade. The taste is pretty drying and toothy upfront, wood and tannin, big hit of rum, a slap of warming booze, candied ginger, fairly raw, hint of solvent, lime, spice, dried fruits and leather. Finish is warming and full of woody tannin. Medium+ body and (unfortunately) little carbonation. Definitely has that dark and stormy character with a good dose of rum. Condition let's it down a bit, but fun anyhow.
