Jul 4, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a light brown with red highlights. It has a fizzy off-white head that quickly diminishes.
The aroma is sweet caramel and buttery toffee malts, peat, cola and a little alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel and butterscotch malts, some dark fruits, a little smoke and a subdued bitter alcoholic finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall, I wasn’t too impressed with this one - it’s very subdued. I’ll take an Old Chub over this any day.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle from Market Street Wineshop Downtown Charlottesville. Chocolate brown pour with an almost nonexistent head. Earthy, oaky aroma. Very dry taste with hints of oak and vanilla. The lightest hint of dark fruits if I really strain to look for them.

Jun 30, 2008 Thanks to ghawener. Drank it during the Eurocup Final 2008. I really liked this, a great surprise. Pours a dark amber with nice creamy head. Medium bodied, spicy, very rum like. Complex, and the alcohol goes pretty much unnoticed. Would like to drink again.
