dark brown color color. Amazing vanilla bean, prunes, burnt raisins, cherries sticky sweet nose. Low carbonation, sticky smooth, tons of vanilla beans, dark fruit. Full bodied. Off sweet. One of the smoothest, but BW I’ve had. Insanely good.

$5.70 pint can, WW. I tried to keep my can purchases at under $4 each last time... a few were not marked for individual price, so whoops. Brown with mahogany highlights, small brown head. Black cherry, caramel, vanilla, caramel nose. VERY sweet vanilla, cherry, caramel, ice cream, dried dates or figs. Too sweet for me, but still has a nice flavor.

Pint can pours with a murky mahogany colored body that supports a lasting thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of fresh vanilla bean backed up by lesser amounts of molasse, malt infused prunes and dates. The taste delivers dessert levels of inviting fresh vanilla bean goodness rolling into smooth malts and a sense of sweet molasses. To midway it gets into thin layers of prune and date like sweet fruity esters. It picks up a bit of booziness into the finish. This is a really nice with firmly forward vanilla dessert like sipper goodness. Nice!

Can from the Packie Deep mahogany brown in color with a decent sized off white head. Rich caramel bready toffee maltiness with a solid hit of vanilla bean. Earthy floral hops to counter. The vanilla makes it seem sweet but this is a nice sipper.

16 ounce can. Translucent brown color. Small creamy beige cap. Big vanilla nose, reminiscent of creme soda. Flavor is sweet caramel and vanilla. Rich and sticky, like dulce de leche. Vanilla flavor dominates. Amazingly creamy mouthfeel. The 12% ABV is very discreetly masked.
