On tap at Reuben's - Fremont, pours a disgusting-looking, opaque, diarrhea orangey brown with a small white head — bartender told me this is what it's supposed to look like — right. Aroma is pretty bad, with butterscotch, rum, chaotic yeast, and a coconut — doesn't smell promising. Flavour is just not pleasant — the main issue is that syrupy, viscous mouthfeel that doesn't seem right. But the flavours are chaotic, with potent rum ball, coconut, and vanilla. This has to be seriously re-thought-out. Very bad.
