Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Tan head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Caramel, oak and rum aromas. Medium bodied with sweet molasses and dried fruit upfront turning to sour pit fruit before the medium length oak finish... wish I’d realized this was from the Newport Storm brewers before purchasing... not a fan...
