Aromas are a little off and unbalanced with lager mixed with vanilla and a little orange. Flavors are similar to nose. Okay body and carbonation. Just drinkable.

Smells of mangoes and bourbon. It tastes very malty, which blends okay with the caramelly oak accented bourbon and the mango, but isn’t my favorite combo. It’s full bodied and a bit boozy.

Pour is a clear bronze with a large white head. Aroma is all marshmallowy vanilla. Flavor is more vanilla with a very minor oak barrel hit after the swallow. It's not a sweet as I thought it was going to be. Decent but also glad I just picked up a single.

Near black pour with a light tan head. Smells of bourbon and roast malt. A bit of chocolate and coffee. Tastes of roast malt, chocolate, mild bourbon, and a bit of coffee. Medium bodied. It’s okay though given the name I expected it to be toastier.
