8/10
Sweetish, smooth and slick with loads of soft oaky bourbon, vanilla, cocoa, chocolate and hints of molasses. Soft and quite balanced, a bit thin body but tasty nevertheless.

Near clear deep amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied dark malts, candyish dark chocolate and coffee, fair dose of vanilla. Pretty cakey overall! The rum barrelling is just about spot on, brings the ripe brown sugar soaked ripe fruits in good balance to the other elements. Airy smooth finish leaves a mild alcohol spice linger. Good pastry by old stalwarts Central Waters. Bravo!

Bourbon, boozy and barrel aged. Bit roasty and thin, easy to drink. Thanks Alex R.

12 ounce bottle, 7/12/25. Clear dark brown, medium tan head, average retention. Aroma of ginger, roast, soap, caramel. Sadly a soapy note. Taste is roast, cherry, ginger, lime, strong spice. Tart, not much barrel character. Gingerbread viibe. Meh.
