355mL can. Pours black with thin tan head. Aroma is very rum forward with underlying roasted malt; some cacao and vanilla, pretty enticing. Flavour is a combination of roasted malt and rum; dominated by the rum. Not bad, but pretty unbalanced and not well-incorporated.

Nearly black. Thin brown head. Intense molasses, raisins, smoke, and rum barrel butterscotchy notes. Actually really vibin' off how this comes across aromatically. On the palate, it's got some sugars, probably a heavy-handed rum barrel, molasses, some dark fruits. It's funny, in that this cannot possibly be the finest expression of Kindling, and yet it is respectable.

330mL can, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma has a perfumey character for the rum barrels, with molasses, dark sugars and a touch of roast. Flavour is rather chaotic and lacking integration, with cola, rum barrels, medium roast, and some molasses. The integration is just not great; the flavours are chaotic and just not all that pleasant. Far inferior to the whiskey BA version from last year.

335 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with moderate tan head that settles quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate, charred oak, spirits and roasted malts. Immediate flavors of plastic and wood, followed by spirits, and dusty chocolate and roasted malts. At best, the rum barrel influence is at odds with the base stout.
