Review by Christian Rudt
Surprisingly fruity this Foursquare is hard to believe that it comes from there. I really like it. Exceptional bottling
Review by Lukas Jäger
Probiert auf dem 12. GRF, Masterclass mit Colours of Rum: Überraschender Foursquare, der für mich sehr untypisch ist. Fruchtige Nase, fast vergoren und etwas Käse (?!?). Etwas anders als die bekannten Abfüllungen, aber ich finde ihn trotzdem oder gerade deswegen sehr spannend!
Review by Alex1981
Unusual but good FS, less on cocos but more fruity & slightly salty

Review by Oliver
Very atypical Foursquare. Lots of fruit and chewing gum. I like it very much.
Review by DomM
Very solid FS. Has an interesting strawberry bubblegum note to it.
Review by Frank
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
Review by Jakob
Very surprising nose - fruit alert with hints of Hubba Bubba, completely different from the other Foursquares. No idea how that comes about - but a welcome addition to the normally not too varied aroma spectrum of the Foursquares.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a very nice release and different from the normal ones. Very fruity and nice roasted wood.
