473 ml can. Pours a bright mahogany color with full head. Aromas of caramel, orange candies, golden raisins and bready malts. Watery flavors of toasted malts and raisins with a big dose of metal.

Pours with deep copper and very modest foam, smells of moldy couches from the 1970s in a dingy basement suite in northern Surrey, British Columbia. Flavour is overloaded hazelnut and sugar and more candied caramel, all cloying and lingering on the tongue. Vaguely drinkable if you're in a pinch but pretty harsh actually.

Bottle - Sweet caramel and whisky notes. Clearish copper with a small white head. Light grains and caramel with a touch of sweetness. OK, but a bit thin.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color with large head. Mild aroma of caramel and apples (usually not a good sign). Highly carbonated (there has been some infection and refermentation in the bottle); thin body; sweet caramel flavor, with an impression of smoke, apple esters; low bitterness level. The first impression was terrible, but getting warmer it gets more drinkable, although it’s still candyish.
Flawed and off target, but not offensive.

Medium amber-brown. Aroma is apple jolly rancher...mmmm...acetaldehyde and too much sugar. Sweet, vague caramel, not a lot of character, just sweet ephemeral candy nothing. Just terrible.
