Can pour from Hop City Krog Street Market, Atlanta (hops are Sabro, Strata, El Dorado and Azacca). It's an opaque dark yellow with light sparkle, small white floaties, finger-width white foamy head with fair retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple, lime, pine--a bit soapy/industrial. Taste is even stronger version of aroma--so strong that seems artificial; late light malt. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, fizzy carbonation, no hint of alcohol, and finish as taste. Overall, strong aroma and flavor but too strong/don't meld well so has artificial bent to it.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark, dark brown with a huge dark tan head. Pretty much a Guinness pour for the first while. Aroma of moderate smoke, dark malt and chocolate notes. Med body or better. Flavor is smoke, dark chocolate and dark malt. The smoke is more wood than smoked meat. It's fairly dry, and definitely earthy in the finish. Good stuff.

16 oz. can. Pours a bright, cloudy, yellow color, with a big, frothy, white head. The nose is orange juice, apricot, white sugar, and light resin. Sweet and juicy, with a sharp, lightly acidic finish. A bit thin, but pretty tasty.

Lots of smoke on the nose, but it doesn't carry over into the taste. Instead we get lots of dark chocolate and caramel, hints of dark fruit, and a vague smokiness on the finish. Sugary back end adds a little saccharine tint when mixed with the bitter fade. Not terrible, but the heavy sweetness makes the pint rather one-note.

16 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Fine streaming carbonation. Soft hops aroma. Classic pilsner malt flavor profile. Crisp and lightly sharp mouthfeel. Soft hoppy finish. Medium-light body. Good pilsner.

16 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a hazy amber-orange color with an off white head and decent retention. Fair lacing. Light caramel and hops aroma. The taste follows the nose with light caramel and hops and a slightly acidic finish. Tastes hoppier than 10 IBU. Tastes more like an amber ale versus an amber lager. Crisp mouthfeel. Medium body. Okay, but not my favorite take on the style.

50cl waxed bottle, A+ label, pours an oily black with no head and plenty of legs. Nose has plenty of chocolate, booze, caramel, coconut, peanut butter, molasses. Flavor has malt and molasses and heavy cocoa, plenty of barrel. Thick finish. Easy drinker for 13%. Nice. 8 4 9 4 15

Wheat and oats help with the feel and add a subtle vanilla sweetness to the base. Hops bring grapefruit, pineapple, mango, and a little pine, with a pronounced herbal streak underneath and a little too much sugar for my blood. Finishes with a touch of pine and almost no bitterness. Textures comes across with an out-of-place fizzy bite. Decent brew.

More fruity loops than PB&J but not in a bad way! Must be those fruity Brandy barrels, real real nice jammy jam thickness, nutty nose and finish, but gotta reiterate staaaaaaaacked jammy berry flavor. Candy jammy sweetness. Thanks Art D. !
