On tap at Portland taproom. Pours almost black with a beige head. Aroma has a lot of harsh rum up front with some stringent fruits underneath. Flavour has a pretty solid rum flavour, fruity notes are inoffensive. The rum dominates in an unpleasant way. Surprisingly light mouthfeel.

On tap at Crux - PDX, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small tan head. Aroma has a sort of tart fruitiness, light vanilla, some spices, no notice of the barrel. Flavour has plenty of spices, fruity coffee, vanilla, and some rum. Surprisingly not harsh, and everything works cohesively. But the barrels are light and the body is light, somewhat lacking depth. It's alright.
