From the depths of the Founders basement…What a strange beer. Tastes so strongly of rum and hops. I have mixed feelings

Rum hits you with the first sip. Somewhat tropical.

Last one from a few years back - boozy tropical - rum is a bit hot - burnt orange, over ripe pineapple - sweet and a little bitter.

Boozy on nose and in flavor, rum gives a more herbal or spicy flavor

Founder's Brew, Barrel Runner. This was bottled in '18 so not sure it's in production. Mosaic Hops lean this ale toward the IPA side. Pretty heavy rum notes. I like it, very solid. 🍺🍺🍺🍺/5 ABV 11.1%

Virkelig meget rum i næsen, knap så meget humle. Flot mahogni-farve. Ret sprittet.

11,1% Ale (Mosaic - Hopped, Barrel Aged Rom). Duft af romfad og sødme. Smag af rom og fad, at den er Hopped og med Mosaic er svær at smage. En ok Ale, men nok ikke en jeg behøver at købe igen.

Fin duft i flasken, men ikke så meget duft når den skænkes op. Meget special smag. Til at starte med, en kraftig humlet og lidt sprittet smag. Den bliver dog lidt bedre når den står lidt, men ikke rigtigt min smag.

A bit more age - somehow more boozy - out and out hot; some syrupy sweetness and tropical fruit in back - rum. Not bad but hot….

Better this time around. Doesn’t have the alcoholic aftertaste from the first time. The weird thing is the scent is still really strong. 4.1

Not sure if this is still good or not. 2018 edition. Tastes to me like a home brew gone amiss. 1st half of the pour was crystal clear. 2nd half completely milky. Kind of weird. Probably wouldn't go out of my way for this.

Bottled in June 2018 so almost 4 years old, this still reminds me a bit of Mas Agave but without the sweetness
