Rum barrel aged. Lots of sugar cane, burnt orange, rummy notes that meld with the chocolate notes of the base beer. Not a lot of coconut, if any. Pretty sweet but ends mildly bitter. Boozy warmth at the end

Rummy coconut malt bomb, maybe a little too sweet?

Aging VERY well! Great coca core without being over sweet. Still retains the base herbal qualities of a good stout. I feel like this is better now than 4 years ago.

Rum barrel aging is such a different beast. Definitely more sweet to begin with. But this is beautifully simple, and not very sweet, inviting the barrel to play, toffee and vanilla extract. Coconut is subtle and the beer is better for it.

Pulled out of the cellar and it still has a hint of coconut, a bit of rum, and some boozy flavor. A little bit past its peak.
