8/10
Unfortunately quite thin body, boozy, bitter and roasty. Lots of bourbon, dark chocolate, dry barrel. Still rich and not too rough, very nice.

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!

Can from Best of Beers. Hazy very dark red brown with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, dried fruit, raisin and lots of bourbon. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Sweet and rather bitter finish with lots of warming alcohol. Oily and soft. 080725
