16oz can from Boise Co-op. Dark brown pour yields a few short lived bubbles. Sweet, boozy aroma, chocolate, caramel, vanilla. Taste starts with some brown sugar sweetness, a warming hit of ABV, then subtle ice cream sundae flavors, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, nutty. Creamy feel. Pleasant heat all the way down.

Pastrywine but still BiL, done right! Also adorable can art. BiL nutty cake, raisins and vanilla, toffee and nutty crispness.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of toffee, macadamia nuts, vanilla, wood, bourbon. Taste is highly sweet with light bitterness around the edges. Flavors like the aroma descriptors. Delicious but rich.

473mL can. Pours brown with minimal head. Aroma has bourbon, macademia syrup, some vanilla. Flavour has syrup, macademia nuts, bourbon. Pretty enjoyable, but overly syrupy and sweet. Not bad per se, but falls a bit short.

16 oz. can, pours a deep dark burgundy, small beige head. Aroma has plenty of macadamia nuts, light vanilla, and huge bourbon barrels. Flavour has lots of macadamia syrupy -- like if you went to Starbucks and asked for a pump of macadamia syrup -- along with vanilla and bourbon. The nuts don't across legitimately enough -- a bit too syrupy. It's clearly a well-made, high-quality beer, but the nut character isn't fully convincing. It's good, but lacking.

1 pint can. Pours a reddish brown with little head. Aromas of bourbon, dry caramel, and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional vanilla that nicely balances the bourbon and malts. Warm finish. Very good overall.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a smear of bubbles. Aroma of bourbon with something that could be nuts. Med body. Flavor is bourbon/vanilla with amberish toffee and something that could be nuts. Sort of buttery. There's a chocolate note too. Not dry, but short of sticky. Not bitter, but some heat makes up for that. All in all it's a fairly good flavor.
