Pint can pours with a slightly hazed deep copper colored body that has thin golden hued edges and supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up some plums, figs and dates as well as a bit of caramel like reduced sugars. The taste delivers fig, plum and date like sweet dark fruity esters intertwined with thin ribbons of sweet caramel. The sweetness is a little too forward and the flavors can benefit from further aging and blending. The rum barrel treatment adds further soft sherry like sweetness and note enough boozy heat to counter the sweet onslaught. All in all this is a nice sipper but on the sweet side.

37.5cl bottle pours with a deep dark brown colored body that has dark copper hued edges and supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate (mostly a dark chocolate sensation), vast amount of vanilla, a bit of roasted malts and then a peanut like nuttiness rounding things out. Another pull and the whiskey (or maybe also bourbon) like barrel treatment is noticed as well. The taste is rich and slick and oily with desert sipper beer goodness. I get velvety dark chocolate and sweet vanilla bean wrapped around a supple whiskey like booziness. Well off in the background are murmurs of nuttiness and a sense of roastiness. This is well integrated and well constructed with pleasing balance between adjuncted beer and the barrel treatment. Solid stuff.

Pint can pours with a nice dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin ring of tan foam. The aroma offers up malts, vanilla, a bit of chocolate brownie and smooth bourbon booze and a dash of heat. The taste is smooth and slick where chocolate plays with mildly roasted malts and slight sense of vanilla and oak. To midway the modest degree of smooth bourbon and a growing alcohol heat bubble to the surface and take this into the finish. This is a fine offering with great beer to barrel treatment balance and just the right amount of depth and richness. Solid.

Pint can pours with a near clear deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up plums and dates moving toward a bit of chocolate and malts as well as sherry like boozy spirits. Nice. The taste is smooth and slick where the sweet dark fruity esters are integrated nicely into the sherry port and supple smooth bourbon notes. Another sip reveals a thin layer of chocolate and a faint sense of caramel. Well integrated and balanced between world class beer notes and the barrel treatment.

Pint crowler pours with a somewhat murky mahogany colored body that supports a thin ring of tan bubbles. The aroma offers up brown sugar stewed plums, a bit of dates, a sense of maltiness and then warming whiskey and booziness at the end of the draw. The taste delivers full slick sweet richness where the beer and barrel treatment are balanced and tasty. I get sweet slick prunes and dates as well as reduced molasses to brown sugar like sugars to midway. Then the smooth whiskey treatment joins in along with the big ABV to help counter the rich slick sweetness that has been achieved. This is a terrific sipper.
