Pours out a rich clear ruby color with a two finger light tan creamy head.

The aroma is sweet and smokey, reminding me of a fine bourbon. Caramel, smoked malt, and a butter dialectal aroma. Sweet aged Jamaican rum come to mind.

Sweet and smoke hit the palate at full force. Now I am a fan of aged whiskey and rum, this ale brings out the best of both worlds. The taste is sweet like rum and harsh like a fine whiskey. Caramel, toffee, bourbon, and sweet rum. Fruits like sour apple, plums, and a candy like sweetness from the alcohol.

Smooth and slick on the palate, yet easy to drink if you are familiar with fine whiskey and rum.

Overall this ale is a combination of whiskey and ale. Given my Scottish roots maybe this ale hit my drunken funny bone. But, this is a fine and top notch ale!!! Just give it a try

A: A dark translucent brown, reminiscent of oak and rum, with a soapy white pillowy head that dies quickly.

S: That's a barrel-aged beer for sure; spiced rum-forward with some oak, molasses, butter, and dark fruits (and some pear, oddly). Drinking this in May, but has the nose of a winter warmer. Excellent.

T: Watered down rum, light dashes of raisin and pear, and a slight oak-tinge are the mainstays, with a faint vanilla underbelly. Grassy hops in the finish.

M: Surprisingly light, although I've had the original and it's similar in body. Very little carbonation.

Not sure why this beer gets so much hate on this site. For the price, it is hard to find a more complex yet well balanced beer that has been barrel aged. Malty, soft notes of vanilla and rum blended together very well make this beer one of my favorites and also a must try.

12 oz. clear bottle poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass.

Appearance: Pours a hazy amber-brown with a half-inch white head.

Smell: Rum, oak, sweet caramel. The rum and oak are fairly muted, but definitely present. Smell is very sweet. Could use some more complexity.

Taste: Similar to the smell - a lot of caramel sweetness with some rum and some oak. Nice flavors, but it feels like it's missing something. Could definitely be more complex, and the rum flavor could be a bit bolder.

Mouthfeel: Pretty thin, but very smooth and drinkable. Medium carbonation.

Overall: Some good things going on, but I'd like to see the flavor profile developed a little more.
