Dark amber, but it's bright. No head. The aroma has...I guess it's a lot of rum. I swear it smells like a boozy cider. Whacked-out weird ferment kind of thing. On the palate, it's thin, somewhat headsy, but watery. And wild, some odd bugs in there. I don't really get a lot of rye here. Ok, this is entirely original, though I'm not sure it works. It's just different, like they're looking for something that works. Unfortunately, they didn't find it this time.

Poured from 355mL can (thanks CaptainMurphy). Clear amber with minimal dissipating off white head. Mild rum and wood glue with tart acetic apple character. Weird, not totally hating it, but not going back for seconds.

355mL can. Pours murky light brown with minimal white head. Aroma has a lot of rum, apples, caramel malts. Flavour has a lot of apple-y rum, caramel malts, surprisingly tart. Too much apple brandy, not well-balanced.

355mL can, pours a cloudy deep dark maroon with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with strong rum barrels, a little perfumey, and some earthiness. Flavour is very tart, with a strange tart red fruits, intense rum barrels, perfumey notes, and some earthiness. Way too tart and perfumey. Not a disaster, but I'm not a fan.
