Tap at Drunk Uncle. Rum barrel isnt that desirable, add what reminds me of a cheap rum undertone..not saying it is bad rum, just leaves behind the boozy nuance if it. Not that good. Syrupy chocolate...nothing that unique about that. Rum barrel takes it in a different direction. I wouldn't revisit this one.

Aromas are a mix of resin, skunk, citrus and a little weed hops. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, a little more sweet than bitter with decent carbonation. Bitter finish. Nothing really stands out about it though. Drinkable beer.

In the bottle of the aromas are mainly caramel malt and in the glass malt is toned down plus a little citrus with some fresh cut grass. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, add in some pineapple, slightly more sweet than bitter with good carbonation. Full-bodied and easy drinking. Nice beer.

The aromas are dry grass, citrus hops with some barnyard. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, dry up front with a little malt sweet in the back. Add in some caramel and increase citrus. Good body and carbonation. Slightly sweet finish. Okay but nothing special.

The aromas of dry grass, resin and a little citrus hops are a little on the mild side. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose adding some melon and apricot. Bittersweet up front with a little more bitter in the finish. Decent body and carbonation. Serviceable.
