    Very atypical Foursquare. Lots of fruit and chewing gum. I like it very much.

    This is a very nice release and different from the normal ones. Very fruity and nice roasted wood.

    Surprisingly fruity this Foursquare is hard to believe that it comes from there. I really like it. Exceptional bottling

    12th GRF, Colors of Rum Tasting. Quick and short... Nose: interesting side note of cheese or rancid sock, but really not unpleasant, rather challengingly exciting. Palate: good, solid, sweetish, slightly metallic, light licorice Pleasing, but not outstanding
