2020 can. Poured a ruby mahogany type color from can. Very woody, sticky, vanilla. Enjoyable.

16oz can. Poured a medium-dark brown color, with a small off-white, almost light tan head. Medium and a touch foamy. Aroma was light licorice, vanilla bean with some citrus. Flavor was a moderate citrus character, malty body, with noticable alcohol. Thankfully the alcohol is not sharp - very mild and easy to drink. Orange cuts through this pretty well and the licorice/anise character helps put a hold on the harsher tones of alcohol.

473ml can. Sweet aroma with anise, vanilla and syrup. Taste is malty and caramely with some earthiness, some vanilla, spices and toffee. A bit untypical aroma, but taste is more like an English barley wine. A bit weird.
