Can, I don't think I see a date, but I think this is early 2025. Drunk 8/6/25.
Dark, possibly clear? Little/no head.
Smells great! Rich malt with fudge and raisin, lots of vanilla from the barrel with a woody dryness and a fruity port, perhaps. Amazing how well-homogenized the adjuncts are. It's not even completely clear there are any here. No booze, not sugary.
Cinnamon and rich barrel. VERY spicy bourbon and the habanero accents it on the finish leaving lingering capsaicin. Not usually a fan of putting habanero in a beer, especially one you've worked so hard and long on like this. But whatever, I love it, even if it does distract somewhat. Maple and brown sugar tones with chocolate and mild cinnamon lingering. Pretty incredible for its age. Not boozey, not even syrupy. No excess sugar. Well, I don't know who these guys are but this is excellent and I'd buy more. Port does build up a bunch on the finish, adding lots of sweet grape. But the habanero keeps it at bay.

8 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Jet black pour. Bubbly brown head resembles swamp gas bubbles. Aroma of dark roasted malt, cold brew espresso and rich black earth. Wow! Intense and decadent. Strong espresso, Maple, vanilla, brandy, dark chocolate, chilis, cinnamon and black currants. I know, that seems like a lot, but it’s all there. Now I know why this comes in an 8 ounce can! Thick and viscous on the palate. This one requires patience and should be sipped slowly.
