RVP Rum Barrel Aged

Growler from the brewery shared with the family tonight. Dark brown color with a decent sized bubbly tan head that shows moderate retention. Rich bready caramel and chocolate maltiness with a huge hit of vanilla that melds into some light sugary molasses, oak and just a touch of blow the man down. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a silky creamy smooth mouthfeel. The rum barrel is extremely subtle, I honestly would have liked a bit more, but it is really quite tasty!
