Cellared 1.5 years. Garnett murky body with a white cap. Smell still has that candied cherry but the rum barrel clashes giving a cough syrup vibe overall, molasses, oak, and funk fight for second place to the cherry. In the taste the clash is even more obvious, funky finish is dark and brooding as a result, just a muddled mess. Feel is very warm with sourness and booze combined, funk is dry and heavy handed. Worst of the three

Pours red with a pink head that quickly faded. Aroma of cherries and funky cheese. Smells acidic. This is the third different version of Krak! I have tried, and they all have been different. This is far less acidic than the Vanilla version, and less dry than the standard. This seems more funky. I got nothing from the rum barrel. It seems under carbonated especially considering its size. The most disappointing of the three.
