Single can from Jungle Jim's
Black with almost no light penetration. Fluffy khaki head with moderate retention.
Rum is very evident in the aroma with hints of raisins.
Taste follows suit with notes of dark chocolate and blackberry.
Absolutely love this, outstanding!

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This "ain't ever heard of one of those" brews
pours a muddled dark brownish black with a moderate head of khaki foam that
settles to a thick ring, thin dusty/clumping layer, and sport some light lacing. Nose
of rum, dark fruit nuances, dark breaded malts, moderate spice cake notes, and
rich brown sugars. Flavors nail it with rum, dark brown sugars, dark berry notes
of cherry and blackberry, raisin bread, and dark chocolate. Mouth feel is medium,
medium light carbonation, smooth, lightly warming, and finishing nicely
balanced and moderately sweet.
Overall, a stellar barrel (rum) aged brew in a style I have never seen before!
Excellent!
Cheers
