0.33 l can from 'Drinks & Gifts', best before December 2026. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, quickly collapsing, brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty aroma of praline, mocha, toasted hazelnut, vanilla, caramel fudge obviously and some bourbon. Very sweet, malty, fairly roasty taste of praline, mocha, toasted hazelnut, vanilla, bourbon and some caramel fudge, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Always lovely, maybe a bit rougher than it used to be but still very aromatic. CFS is never a miss.

These beers are always a pleasure, even though they seem to have lost some of their shine, and are sorta starting to meld together. Sweet, with lots of caramel and quite some bourbon. This iteration is pretty boozy and strong.
