On tap at Velocity Wings, Sterling Virginia. Dark brown in colour, with a thin, beige, head. Aroma of ginger, chocolate and leafy hops. Flavour had toasty malts, some chocolate sweetness, subtle ginger warmth and a toasty, rich, finish. Enjoyable.

454ml can. Pours slightly hazy orange with a small head. Aroma is caramel, pine and toast. Taste has pine, caramel and sherbet lemon with a bitter finish. Sticky mouthfeel.

Medium golden amber color. It’s funny I wasn’t going to order this as their pumpkin Saison didn’t impress that much but I love rum and I heard this is fairly rum forward. Fairly is the biggest understatement ever. I am actually trying to find beer and pumpkin character in the nose. This is like if King Kong Bundy’s belly was a barrel of rum and he jumped off the top ropes and landed on your face type of wallop. Oh and the oak is huge too. Finally as it warms a bit I get fennel, cloves and cinnamon. This is much less of a Saison than a pumpkin barrel aged beer. Fairly malty, bigger carbonation than needs to be. Dry finish with massive rum and oak and the spices finally poke out. Much better than the regular pumpkin Saison. The body is malitier, heavier, sweeter and this is focused on the spices and barrel and not funkiness and driness that clash with the pumpkin character. Shows great depth as it warms. Ultimtely I loved this --- Beer merged from original tick of Rum Barrel Pumpkin on 18 Mar 2024 at 11:26 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7. Original review text: medium amber color. Nice spiced nose with some rum and oak. Full body but not super complex. It’s not bad.

Beautiful firey red amber color. Beautiful sweet malty nose of raisins, plums, cherries, molasses and lots of bourbon and oak. It’s exactly what I expected. Malty mouth, that is off sweet, low carbonation, lots of character and honestly I generally feel there are too many high abv beers that are too sweet for my liking but in this case, I think the somewhat lack of sweetness holds back the beer. Still the abv never shows too much, not really warming and bourbon isn’t too pronounced at the end. It’s essentially a very quaffable beer. At 12% that is dangerous. I certainly like this a lot but it’s not a beer I’d fall in love with

Dragon fruit and blueberry. Pours murky reddish orange with ok head. Like tangy finish. Tap at Meridian Pint.

Maple syrup, charred oak nose. Cola black, medium tan head. Vanilla, maple syrup, cocoa. Full body, easy carbonation.

Shared 355 ml bottle. Clear golden colour, small white head. Weak aroma, some fruity hops. Thin bodied. Bitter and piney flavour. Disappointing.

Shared bottle at RB/HD on board Fridtjofen 30.11.19. Clear pale straw colour. Small white head and lacing. Fine aroma and taste of pilsner malt, succade and lemon zest. Good! Fairly dry.
