Can. Black body with a thin beige head that fades. Patchy lacing. Aroma of strawberry lacing and vanilla essence. Flavour of the strawberry chocolate Quality Street and full cream. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Sugary sweet. One can was plenty.

12 fl. oz. can from Craft Beer Kontor, Hannover. A nice dark red brown in the glass, think it´s clear, with a more one finger pale beige head. Pleasant choco malty smell. Taste is also choco, malty, hints of fruits, some sweetness, lactose. Smooth. Low sweetness. Low carbonated. Nice.

Bottle from Beersniffers. Pours a pitch black colour with a small beige head. Strong aromas of blueberries and maple, some milk chocolate, vanilla and hints of liquorice. Taste has more blueberries, maple, milk chocolate and also some ashy notes. Medium to full bodied, low carbonation, smooth very slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice

Pure dessert. Decided to put in some vanilla bean ice cream.

Can picked up from Biervana, München and consumed at home watching The Platform on Netflix, Saturday 6th June 2020. Pours black with a tan head, aroma is as one would expect i.e. dominated by the barrel ageing, so bourbon wafts. Tastes of bourbon, chocolate, and a little dark cherry, not really picking up the raspberries. It's a little less indulgent than expected, it's smooth, easy drinking for the abv. It's good but was hoping for more raspberries.

Rocky light brown head stayed on a dark brown still body. Malt, confectionery & candy aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a tickle on the back. Malt, lactose sugar, Neapolitan ice cream & syrup tastes with a bitter tangy finish. Unusual & very tasty.

12 oz. bottle, $4.99 from Prestige Liquors in Westmont. Packaged October 30, 2019. The beer pours out a black body with a slight brown highlight. There's a stiff tan head that takes a while to dwindle away. The smell is dominated, only slightly, by sweet chocolate, with a bit of strawberry at the side. The taste is mostly on the sweet chocolate side, too. Cocoa can tend to overwhelm other flavors at first. Strawberry taste does show up after a little while. The vanilla taste can get lost in the char of a bourbon barrel, though it finally suggests a bit of unsweetened vanilla bitterness. There's also some malt roast bitterness., but it's not in the way. The alcohol is a welcome warmer, without the bourbon character in some BA stouts. At about six months old, this is a beer that's ready for prime time. I regret not having another to put away and see what happens to it.
