Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear brown beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth, fairly light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation emerging late on. The mouthfeel of the dark malts is thin but the flavour imparted is of a decent if unsweet dark chocolate, a mild boxy roast and a touch of thin dark malt cream. Decent ripe fruits in the mid and then the light but smooth and pleasing rum barrel kicks in, gets richer towards the light, semi dry and spicy finish. Nice job. A little thin on the mouthfeel for me but, perversely, I think aided the drinkability of this one.
