Can from Total Wine in Vacaville California. Pours rather dark pink with a transient white head. Aroma is very Concord grape. Medium body. It’s rather tart/sweet. Flavor is definitely Concord grape, but there is a good dose of both ginger and lime. Interesting and refreshing drink.

Dark brown. Thin head. Aroma mostly of pbc2, some vanilla. Thick body, it’s fine, but the pbc2 thing just makes it a waste. It's not balanced.

12 oz. bottle, pours jet black with lots of coconut resting on top with a small head. Aroma is dominated by intense coconut upfront, followed by deep almond, some Oreo cookie, and soft barrels in back. Flavour is very dessert-like and intense, with huge coconut upfront, followed by almost-as-intense almond, chocolate cookies, and soft bourbon barrel to round things out. Sweet but not cloying coconut, almond and chocolate bomb in that order. Can’t really say this is complex; but the adjuncts are high-quality and extremely well-balanced, and there is enough malt to serve them all up. Very tasty BA pastry stout.
