4 oz. sample at the source. Hazy bright gold, some head. Aroma is floral hops and guava fruit. Flavor has the floral upfront with fruit in the background. Mild citrus rind bitterness. Pretty good.

16 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & More, Phoenix Arizona. The flavor is pretty rich with some some chocolate and mild vanilla notes. Sweet but not that sugary sweet. Roasted malt is minimal here. The body is ok considering the ABV and malt base. Decent.

Can, courtesy of DerA. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma is vanilla, chocolate, icing, busquit, pecan nuts. Body is medium but waaaay to thin after this crazy aroma. Cake, yes, but becomes dry and almost watery. Flavours continue from the aroma. Feels like Trojka, the Scandinavian candy bar. Good, but odd.

This beer pours black with some brown around the edges, and a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a film. Small patches of lace. Roast malt, vanilla and chocolate aroma. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, vanilla, coffee and chocolate. The finish is sweet with a vanilla mocha aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pint can pours with a deep dark body that supports a short lived mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up loads of chocolate and almond nuttiness with a dark bread sensation in the background. The taste delivers smooth chocolate and sweet almond like nuttiness. It gets pretty darn sweet to midway as cake and frosting like notes seem to bubble to the surface. Another sip reveals a thin molasses sweetness roaming around the periphery of the experience. Nice sipper.
