Poured into a Fremont small snifter. Pours a very dark mahogany brown, appearing opaque in the glass with a thin, light khaki head that dissipates to patches with light lacing. Aroma of dark toasted malt, rum, dark dried fruit and vanilla. Flavor is dark toasted malt, dried plums, raisins, rum, Port wine and vanilla; light astringency in the finish. Medium bodied with light to medium creaminess. Definitely a log of rum presence here, almost certainly providing most of the fruit character, which has a rum profile, but reminiscent of English barleywines. As a matter of fact, this tastes more like a barleywine dominated strong ale than a stout; there is little dark malt flavor under the rum. There is an interesting fortified wine flavor as well, reminiscent of Port or sherry from the barreling. I'd have guessed a Port barrel in a blind taste. Other than a mild woody astringency in the finish, a rich, fruity ale with lots of good barrel character. It does have a unique and flavorful taste.
Edit: After I finished the review and saved it, I realized that this really does have a rum cake flavor to it; maybe even a rum soaked fruitcake. Well named.
