Antidisestablishmentarianism amber ale

This unfiltered, malt forward amber ale has a slightly sweet finish with a hint of fruit & spices from rum barrel twists soaked in Barbados rum. Colin loved beer and Caribbean rum, so we thought it would be a good idea to combine the two in his first memorial brew.

650mL bottle, pours a dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out rum notes upfront, along bready caramel malt and a very low hop content. Flavour is pretty bland, with bready malts providing the backbone, with a smidgeon of rum and oak. Low complexity, but pleasant enough. Meh.

Colin was a good guy, so I had to buy this beer. Cloudy amber with a bubbly head. Aroma is a bit boozy, with some earthy caramel malts as well. Has a yeasty, slightly tart and underfermented character, not professional calibre, with a touch of the rum influence late.

Hazy amber color with small head. The aroma is rather dusty, with some caramel, breadish, as often happens for Amber Ales; hint of rum. Dry mouthfeel, quite lean; moderate caramel flavor with a touch of rum, that makes this beer a bit softer; low bitterness, but in balance with the rest.
Simple but not bad.
I raise the glass to Colin!
