    Coastal Extreme Brewing (aka Newport Storm) does some barrel-aged beers from their in-house rum distillery Thomas Tew rum. Pretty interesting stuff.

    Just tonight at Portland's Holiday Ale Fest I had Bear Republic's Rum Pirate Stout. If you like the burnt molasses taste of blackstrap rum, it's for you. I very much enjoyed it.

    I quite like Pirate Bomb! Also, Rumpkin is very good.

    If you like rum, there are possibly some good ones available. Why involve beer in this at all? :wink:

    Another vote for Rum King. They have made more of it the last couple of years so not that hard to trade for either.

    Although I love me some Pirate Bomb, it isn't very easy to get. It was too hot for me when fresh, but near perfect after a couple in the cellar.

    I'm a big fan of Slumbrew's Yankee Swap. Different styles every year. Always aged in rum barrels.

    Get yourself some Clown Shoes Hammer of the Holy...it did a nice job of highlighting the rum and is half of the Very Angry Beast that was mentioned earlier

    Heavy Seas Yule Tide.. it's usually a different style each year, I think, but it's always aged in Jamaican rum barrels.. it's in season now too and is usually $7.99 a bomber, which is great for a barrel aged brew.. I think this years is a Weizen Doppelbock, haven't tried it.. but a couple years ago it was a Red Ale and it was awesome..

    I'd tuck it away for a year then bring it back out, it mellows with age quite nicely. I love Bourbon so for me the barrel influence is never a distraction.
