Dull gold, slightly hazed, like ng lasting lace. Tropical rum & pineapple, all barely, rum scent. Crazy boozy. Tastes like really good & fruity rum over melted down ice. It's bittersweet, leaning bitter. Tropical, earthy, delicious. Seriously fruitcake or macerated fruit before it gets baked. I've made my share of Alton Brown's recipe. I can almost pick out the vanilla from the OG batch, but can't. Hard, rounded sharpness, leftover sugars, numbness. Can't believe this is 7%. Best beer/rum infusion ever.
