Thanks Jay for sharing! Served in a mini pint glass.
Bright high clarity orange, thin ring of foam around the edges with minimal spotty lace.
Smells sweet, cane sugar, oak, rum, caramel sauce.
Sweet and a little buttery, lager yeast, it also tastes vaguely like a watered down rum & coke. Thin bodied, sort of weak and flaccid like most I&G beers i've tried. Light carb level. Glad this was shared, not really worth seeking out. The box graphics are better than the beer itself.

Such a delicious, satisfying beer. So thirst quenching. So refreshing. Wow. Really enjoy this beer. Yum!
It is reminiscent of fine mead, though far lighter and far more complex. The aftertaste is sweet and pleasant. Wish I could make this beer at home...at nearly 4$ a beer, it's a rather pricey treat.

330ml bottle poured into a pint glass. ABV 7.7%.
Good thing the clear bottle comes in a fancy box.
A - Poured a clear mahogany with a 1cm white head. Head reduced to a thin cap. No lacing.
S - Strong vanilla, oak, caramel, hint of fruit.
T - Toffee & caramel, red wine, stabs of cola & cream soda, mild bitter finish. The taste is quite complex but also delicious. No hint of booze.
M - Medium-low carbonation, medium body, smooth, syrupy, a bit of heat, clean finish.
O - It's good. Damn good ale.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and some light lacing. Aroma of vanilla and oak with sweet malt based and light sweet caramel malt notes. Taste is dominated by quite strong vanilla which borders on gross territory with some toffee and sweet caramel malt notes. Body is smooth with a creamy texture and good carbonation. Interesting but too much vanilla and a bit too sweet for its own good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark clear copper color with light head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of malt and caramel with a hint of wood. Definite oakiness but not overbearing. Additional flavors of sweet toffee, roasted malts, and vanilla, just like the description. Very nice.
