From the brewer

What if Strong Ales were of a Caribbean origin? Using spices, ingredients and inspirations from the West Indies trade routes, O-Töwn created an Old World ale unlike any other. Modelled on English Strong Ale recipes, this unique "pirate-style" beer was infused with raw sugar, molasses, vanilla, coconut, cinnamon, and then aged on Caribbean rum-soaked oak staves. Finally, it was dry-hopped with spicy aroma hops to support the unusual flavor profile and to add overall balance. Clear the deck, Sails ‘n’ Gunpowder is about to board your taste buds!

Who's been drinking this

Unreasonably strong for what it is; a pleasant mix of smooth coconut cookie and some dry hop resin. The result is smooth and definitely cocounutty, although a lingering, dry bitterness and the feeling that it's getting you drunk faster than it's worth are demerits.
