Poured from 355mL can. Near black with tan head. Bourbon, mild chocolate malt with some dark fruit notes. Still seems a little bit boozy despite it's age (as compared to other Str8 Flexin' - based on my notes at least).

355ml can, 2022 version, 11,7 % abv. Many thanks to pictoman for this beer gift. Shared with Finn at his place. Jet black in the glass, filmy layer, dotted spots on the glassware. Quite inviting aromas of nutty chocolate. Coconut dominates the taste character, hints of chocolate and dried fruits to it. Ends rather sweet with distant notes of bourbon. Slow sipper qualities. (Rating no. 23500) (Tromsø, 25.06.2023).

2022 version. 11,7%. Gave fra Pictoman. Delt med Rune på Vervet. Svart. Mokkafarget filmskum. Kokosnøttaroma. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken kokosnøtt - og litt bourbon. Uvariert. Alkoholen kjempegodt kamuflert.

Dark brown colour, near black, almost no head. First comes the smell of alcohol, followed by petrol, roasted malts, Bourbon. Good body; flavour of dark caramel, dark sugars, spirit, evident Bourbon. Quite hot and aggressive, I like the base Ste8 Flexin', this one is suitable for Bourbon Barrel lovers.

Tasted side to side with the 2021 version, this has a weird aroma: petroleum, spices, rubber, chocolate, in sequence. It's lean, it seems sweeter; more mellow, more caramel and dark sugars, less chocolate; the spices are very present too, but more hot, and less cinnamon/vanilla; like the previous verion, the alcohol is evident, highlighted by the spices as well.
Very good, but I prefer the 2021 by one pinch.

12oz @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: mostly spices, couldn't really find anything else. Taste: along the same lines, boozy, some chocolate. Overall: not as smooth as 2021 now, but it's still ok.

12oz @ Alex's. Appearance: dark brown with a weak brown head. Aroma: spices, some sweetness and well hidden bourbon. Taste: along the same lines, finishes with some roasted malts and chocolate. Overall: good for the spicy beers fans, ok for me.

Roast and some cinnamon. Vanilla, some chili. Black pour with good mocha head. Oily consistency. Bittersweet finish. Lots going on here, and it comes off well though not perfectly. Chocolate. Can.
