330ml bottle [from 2015, 12.0% abv]. Jet black colour, some macropore, tan bubbles on top. Fruity yeasty, mildly funky and dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, hints of cherry, plum, morello, blue grapes, a touch of Port, Marsala, sherry. Taste is dry, woody, roasty dark malty, minimally yeasty funky, slightly yeasty fruity, minimally vinous, hints of blue grapes, red wine, oak, a touch of cherry, morello, plum, marmite. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Not perfectly matured, no hints of rum to be honest, very nice fruity aspects, the funkiness might not be intended but doesn't do harm - better than just OK.

0.33 l bottle from 'CraftBeer-Dealer.com', 2018 version at 14% abv, aged for three months on rum barrels from Belize. Black with just a few beige bubbles on top. Intensely sweetish, malty, gently roasty, slightly boozy and a bit fruity aroma of praline, coffee, licorice, coconut, rum, some vanilla and hints of dark fruits. Fairly sweet, malty, gently roasty, slightly boozy and a bit fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, loads of rum, coconut, some vanilla and traces of dark fruits, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, earthy and gently boozy finish. Medium to full body, almost oily mouthfeel, nearly flat. Really intense stuff, very heavy on the rum but not as boozy as feared, so still very pleasant! However, it's not as good as the whisky variant by any means.
