Just…weird. Deep lingering chocolate nites mix with an unexpected bright berry acidity and caramel. Adds peanut hulls and an almost minty undertone on the back end. Finishes roasty and java-ish, with a lasting coffee bitterness on the finish. Spiky texture and thin body seem off for the style.

Can from HavnensVin&Tobak. Pours opaque bright amber with large white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of orange, mango, pineapple, peach, mandarin, passion fruit and cantaloupe melon. Taste is very sweet, very bitter, light acidic and light salty. Body is syrupy with fizzy carbonation. Finish is very long, very bitter and medium to very sweet with notes of spruce, pine, resin, grapefruit, pomelo, orange, fresh apricot, peach, pineapple, nutmeg, cardamom, oak cask (whisky/bourbon?) and hints of latex. Very intense but well balanced.

473ml can. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Rather restricted, if not expressionless, grassy, minimally piney and fruity, hoppy and minimally funky, yeasty aroma, unspecific fruitiness, pale malty background. Taste is slightly dry, fruity, piney and grassy hoppy, pale malty backbone with little residual sweetness, unspecific fruitiness with aspects of yellow stone fruit, citrus fruit, minimally funky yeasty overtones; minimally zesty, citrusy finish. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying and greasy palate, fine and soft carbonation. Restricted, somewhat unspecific hop flavours, homogeneous up to monotony - not overly impressive.

Mango, nectarine, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large off white head. Moderately sweet nectarine, mango, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Very fruity without being too sweet.

Very sweet, like a scotch ale with added lactose and a little spice. Loads of caramel with slight notes of butter and cinnamon, and a lingering sugary finish. I think I’d rather just have a cookie.

Super deep dark brown and almost pure black coloured body with a thickish, two to three centimetre tall lighter brown head that does end up fading fairly quickly, but still leaving a small, single centimetre tall or even smaller lace on top that shows some creaminess. Aroma of roasted malts, marshmallows, caster sugar, lactose, a big hit of brownie batter (somehow?!?) with a good deal of molasses and unfinished sugars, but there is also some noticeable alcohol and richness from the sugars still at play. Full-bodied; Rich chocolate flavours dominate with a lot of roasted malts, some vanilla, coffee, earth, toffee and a bunch more pure chocolate and brownie notes with a lot of sweetness, but also a good deal of alcohol and richness even at the end. Aftertaste shows some earthy and pungent grainy, robust oatmeal and toffee flavours with a bunch of chocolate, cocoa, marshmallow and creamy notes with a lot of punch, especially from the chocolate and grainy notes. Overall, a nice and enjoyable, super rich and chocolatey beer that shows some good sweetness, but also a pungent amount of alcohol and body, but great for the season! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Wegman's in McLean, Virginia on 23-January-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington almost a full year later on 22-December-2021.

Half of a 16 oz. can, thanks to Tim! Pours a murky, orange color, with a big, frothy, off-white head. The nose is cinnamon, vanilla, mellow coffee, and pine. Sweet and sugary, with a good, easy bitterness. Smooth, easy, and fun.
