16 oz. can, pours jet black with a small brown head. Aroma has a decent whiskey barrel character for JD, with deep roast, oats, and some woodiness. Flavour has a somewhat harsh whiskey barrel character, with deep roast, light wood, and harsh JD on the finish. Why use such a shitty barrel for such a good base? The base still comes through, but the barrel definitely ruins this.

Dark brown. Very appetizing aroma, with rich brown sugars, umami. On the palate, less rich, but still really nice notes of dark malt, soft sugars, and a bit of molasses. A bit nutty. A touch of alcohol in the finish, light barrel. The barrel is what it is; the base is really good of course.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Sammy; bb June 12, 2025). Near black with minimal beige head. JD whiskey forward with light wood, a bit thin, okay.

473mL can. Pours black with a small tan head. Chewy oatmealt malts, some brown sugar, and whiskey barrels on the nose. Flavour has cheap woody whiskey barrels and dry, roasty malts. The base is great, good roast, but the whiskey barrels come across pretty cheap.

Black with a large beige head that faded quickly. Very boozy, woody and doughy. Very long finish. Full bodied.

Can. Pours inky black, small dark brown head, decent lacing. SRM! Aroma is light, lots of charred wood, whiskey, molasses, tobacco. Flavor is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. A touch astringent perhaps.

16oz can from Tavour. Near black pour yields some brown brown bubbles. Chocolaty aroma with some solid whiskey notes. Taste is chocolaty, sweet, creamy and some whiskey barrel that fits right in. So smooth and tasty
