Canned 11/4/25, drunk 1/19/26, as pictured.
Smells like a crystale; lots of fruity yeast, slight toffee, slight vanilla, raisin and such. Obviously being roughly 1/3 the abv, it doesnt have the richness of malt of the real thing, but it still has a pleasing, highly aromatic character with even some hoppiness thrown in (fresh herb and some earthiness).
Soft and malty in the mouth without much toast. Some light sourdough, I guess, followed by rich caramel/toffee/vanilla. Per usual from Bizarre, a whole hell of a lot of flavor for its size. The low abv also lets the yeast and hop shine through more, as it's not so malt-focused. Really well-done stuff.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark ruddy mahogany with a transient but significat tan head. Aroma is malty with something like dark fruit. Med body. Not dry. Malty like European brown bread - like rye/rye spice. Not very bitter. Sort of like rye bread. Very hard for me to parse this - lots of flavors mixed up. Nice drink.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear dark brown pour, sturdy, creamy tan head. Malty, toasty aroma. Taste brings in some sweetness right up front, brown bread, bran muffin, malty. Really tasty.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of toasted dark bread, caramel. Pours hazy brownish amber with a half finger beige head that falls into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is lightly sweet and fairly bitter with flavors of toasted malts. It’s kind of marketed as a light barleywine, but it pretty much tastes exactly like your average brown ale.
