Commercial Description:
Rum barrels are a new one for me. I’ve never tasted a beer that was aged in rum barrels before I tasted the same beer you have in your hands. And let me tell you, it was no easy task tracking down freshly emptied rum barrels and getting them up to the brewery. But I think you will agree it was worth the extra effort. To create this beer we took our Smoked Porter and let it slowly age in barrels that once held 12 year old Virgin Island rum. Straight form the Captain’s cellar to yours, we hope you enjoy.

bottle thanks to thebeercellar. black pour with a nice cream colored head. sweet sugar and wood on the nose along with some rum in the background. the rum shows through quite a bit honestly and leaves the roastiness for last. the rum really coats the mouth in the aftertaste and kind of puts the beer down a few for me.

Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany with a thin froth of clumpy-lacing dark tan head. Aroma of sweet caramely malts and good oaky rum notes with a hint of lightly tart fruits. Body starts with a nicely dissolved carbonation and good sweet caramel notes with a decent amount of fruity tartness toward a drier, bittersweet finish. A pretty nice, well-balanced brew.

Courtesy of Crizay. HUGE rum notes damn near scorch my nose hairs off. Very boozy smelling, but you get some roasted flaked chocolate notes as well. The body is a dark ruddy brown and supports a diminishing tan head. The first sip is crazy boozy and hard to warm up to. It really burns on the throat. Chocolate, molasses, raisins and generally a good tasting porter is buried under it. I just can’t hack the strong rum notes.

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a slowly collapsing tan head. Initial chalky aroma with light acidic fruity touch and mild rum aroma. Roasted malt and light alcohol rum note, light roasted acidic flavour following this. Goes into a mix of dry roasted malt and light acidic finish. Dry and roasted into the far finish, mild rum flavour and a warming alcohol finish.

Entered as my USA rating number 1700. Bottled. A black beer with a brown shine under a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of rum, prunes, plums, and roasted malt. The flavor is very sweet with notes of roasted malt, rum, prunes, and plums, combined with a note of alcohol that tickles the tongue, before a dry woody and alcoholic finish sets in. Thanks a lot Papsoe for sharing this gem.

Bottled (Thx. Papsoe for sharing). Reddish brown coloured. Murky. Dense light brown head. Rum, fruits and light liqourice in the aroma. Flavour has fruits, light sourness, alcohol, raisins and some roasted notes. Medium to full bodied. Well balanced. Alcohol dominating the end. As said by other, not as complex and refined as the wine barral, but still a good cup of beer.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Pours a cloudy opaque dark brown with an orange glow, and a dense, creamy light brown head. Somewhat boozy rum aroma. Medium body, lightly fruity burned malt. Lightly boozy rum notes with a dry finish. A good beer but not nearly as complex as the wine barrel version. 250608
