Can@SBWF2022. Hazy orangeish brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, some spices, alcohol and mild nutty and wooden tones. Flavour is pretty much following the pattern of the aroma. Smooth, but nothing that special.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, maple syrup, coffee, dark chocolate, spices (cinnamon), tobacco, oak wood, bourbon and vanilla. Malty, roasted, sweetish taste with dark bread, maple syrup, coffee, dark chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, treacle, tobacco, liquorice, oak wood, bourbon, vanilla and a gentle roasty bitterness in a warming, vinous finish. More than medium body, sweet. Rich and tasty, fairly well balanced for its strength. Very nice.

Tapster: sort if hazy with white head. Even though on draught tastes and smells old. Malty. Weirdly fruity. Or maybe it was the terpenes. Meh.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a large foamy tan head. Aroma is strongly maple. Overall suggests French Toast. Med body. Flavor is strongly maple with some bourbon and light wood astringency. Not at all dry. There is some bitterness from something. Heat is hard to find, but it's there. Maple maple maple.

Sampled from the tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours a clear deep gold with a copper hue and an off white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma pine and some earthy resin with a bit of grain and bread backing. Flavor has dank pine and resin with some earthy grass and grains coming through.

Pint can found locally, I have a tulip glass in place to catch the pour. Really dark brown in color, almost black, with a here and gone cover of creamy tan foam. Nicely fragrant, sweet chocolate, grain, vanilla and booze. The taste, unfortunately does not keep up with the promise of the scent. Chocolate, bread, a hint of bourbon, malt and a curious metallic presence. A thin sensation, I expected some depth. Significant comedown from previous Clown Shoes beers.
