16 oz. can. The aroma is absolutely unbelievably great! Soft hazelnut on top of bold peanut butter and bourbon! The flavor shows the hazelnut, peanut butter, caramel and chocolate all in equal parts. The greatest thing is the bourbon lingers slightly after the finish and cuts the sweetness. ABV is hardly found. It reminds me of the past when my mom used to bake me dark chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Damn this is fantastic!

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a small, transient dark tan head. Aroma of peanut butter and hazelnut. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is hazelnut, peanut butter, bourbon, chocolate, burnt malt. Not dry. Not bitter. Pastry it is.
