Jos shared this while we were checking out the space of a future world class brewery. Thanks!
A: Dark brown with a big frothy beige head.
S: Raisin and plum with treacle and candi sugar notes. Rum is evident but restrained. Date blends with caramel. Bready notes are present and I detect a light spiciness.
T: Sweet caramel and treacle. Big raisin notes with a light rum presence. Brown sugar blends with date and candi. Alcohol is very well hidden. Little astringency in the finish. Bitterness is at a low level throughout.
M: Upper medium body with medium carbonation. Silky and sticky with notable alcohol warming.
Overall: Impressive. I guess Garage Project had secured a rum barrel for this beer but it fell through at the last minute so instead they soaked raisins in a bottle of 12 year old Appleton Estate Rum. I think it turned out quite well. My first beer from this brewery and I hope it won't be the last.
