Old rating - A 330ml bottle brought home from my trip to South Wales earlier this year. A very enjoyable rum porter.

Keg @ Tap + Tan, Tenby. Black with an off-white head. Carbonated, it has subdued roasted malts, which get a tad salty - the rum, although not overly evident does provide a sweetness.

440ml can; BBE Jan 2020. Drank at a brother-in-laws on 30th Nov 2019. Black body, tanned top. Rum like aroma and taste, but not enough body depth to carry it through. A bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Gravity poured half-pint at the 8th Annual Beer Festival at The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon on 25th August 2017. Dark bodied, tanned topping. Plenty of coffee and chocolate in both the nose and taste, vanilla in there too: not sure I found any rum like flavours though. Liked it.

Opaque ruby brown, small frothy beige head, dissipates slowly, light lacing. Aroma roasted malt, coffee, black fruit, treacle, alcohol. Taste light heavy sweet and light bitter, malty, fruity, rum, spicy notes, coffee, bit woody. Sweet and a bit bitter aftertaste, coffee groundings, sugary, boozy. Medium body, watery texture, flat carbonation, nice but lacks strength.

Thuis uit een flesje. Donkerbruin, goed schuim. In aroma en smaak wat caramel. Vermeld wordt rum porter, maar dat proef ik niet. Beetje vlak.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - deep black but with some amber chinks around the bottom of the glass. Nose - light rum and raisin thing going on. Taste - more prominent raisins this time. Wood spice and light but not overwhelming boozy edge. Palate - medi bodied and creamy. Fairly balanced finish with a good taper. Overall - good.
