Bottle, shared at RBSG. Dark brown, copper highlights, thin off white head. Spicier and more complex than the non-rum aged brew, and sweeter too, but I enjoyed this more. Warming finish.

Bottle at RBSG. Ruby brown pour, white head. Smooth vanilla butter rummy, dark caramelized almost burnt sugar, alcohol burn. Sorta ... Smooth and harsh all at once. Each sip alternates between like and dislike, but Im gonna land on "like."

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 JBPortland (1259) - Portland, Maine, USA - JUN 15, 2015
375ml bottle 2014 vintage pours dark red brown with light red edges and big 2 finger fizzy head. Nose is dark fruit, caramel raisin and plum, some rum fruit spice. Boozy nose as it warms and opens up. Taste has some sweet bready dark grain, round rum fruit spice, caramel, light oak. Finishes with sweet toasted caramel, vanilla, dark bread, raisin, dark fruit, oak. A hair over carbed and could use a bit more body. Pretty good offering.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 boFNjackson (4192) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JUL 29, 2014
Bottle (thanks to goodbyeohio for sharing)... Poured dark, deep, brownish with a mild forming head. Aroma of spirits and barrel. Nice sweetness, wonderful barrel character, not too heavy on rum, but enough to create a distinction from say a bourbon barrel. Smooth, sweet, nice fruitiness, charred grains and wood with dense caramel-like tones. This beer seems pretty polarizing but Im on the delicious bandwagon here.

Pours darker tan to orange, off white head.
Smell rum fruitiness, red fruit
Taste good rum and spices, caramel, bit sweet
Mid body
Nice, better than base beer.
