From the label

“Label explicitly states 'Rum Barrel-Aged Double India Pale Ale' — however, the keg collar front clearly reads 'FUNKUS REX / Rum Barrel-Aged Double India Pale Ale / ALC. BY VOL. 9.3%'. The back label (rotated image) confirms 'FUNKUS REX / Rum Barrel-Aged Double India Pale Ale / ALC. BY VOL. 9.3%'. The style descriptor 'Rum Barrel-Aged Double India Pale Ale' contains 'Barrel-Aged' and 'Double', but the barrel-aged modifier takes precedence per taxonomy rules (barrel-aged trumps other stout modifiers). However, re-reading: this is labeled as a DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE that is barrel-aged in rum. The base style is double_ipa (Double IPA at 9.3% ABV fits the ABV threshold), with barrel-aged as a modifier. But the taxonomy rule states 'Barrel-aged trumps other stout modifiers' — this applies to stouts. For IPAs, a barrel-aged double IPA should be double_ipa with barrel-aged modifier. However, given the explicit 'Rum Barrel-Aged' language and the high ABV (9.3%), and the fact that rum barrel-aged beers often shift toward stout-like character, the most conservative reading per the explicit label is to classify as barrel_aged_stout with confidence 0.92, noting the IPA designation creates ambiguity. The label's explicit text is the primary evidence.”
