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.

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.

(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

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.

Bottled, thanks PilsnerPeter! Near black, beige head. Aroma of rhum and chocolate sauce. Fairly sweet with rounded mouthfeel Some syrup, some milk chocolate. Rhum is ever present, but not overpowering. Fairly low bitterness.

Bottled (thanks PilsnerPeter!). Pitch black colour, mediumsized brown fluffy head. Aroma is a lot of espresso coffee, some nuts, wood and also quite much rum in it. Flavour is coffee, fruits, wood, sap, chocolate and smoke. These things go all the way until the finish, leaving a nice chocolaty, smoked and roasted aftertaste with a slight sting of rum.

Dark burgundy-brown with a thick, mountainous head. Crazy nose - tart, dark fruit, hints of smoke. Nice complex, esoteric depths so hard to wrap my head around. Soft body, almost too much so as it borders on plasticy. Dark fruits, light malt, toffee and a subtle barrel influence. You wouldn’t even pick out rum. Interesting, if nothing else.

Black with a large brown head. Sourish aroma with roasted malt, wood, berries and coffee notes. Sweet and sour flavour with notes of rum, roasted malt, wood, sour berries and coffee.
