Brown colour, so a bit light for the style. Not much head. Thin, weak...like watery, low bitterness, slight banana. But this is really...I mean just a couple of years ago their anniversaries were must-drink events. Now they barely had one and they released this, one of their worst ever beers. Oh, and Twin Sail's? Not even spellchecking their label. Get that shit outta here.

Hazy, a bit dull. Thin head. Bright fruity notes, papaya, nectarines and raspberry. Nice, unusual combination of fruity notes. Moderate bitterness, and the malts are thin. The only drinkable beer of the 2024 anniversary...they quit trying long before they quit, apparently.

Opaque, pale purple. No head. tart, some blackberry, light plum. Would like more of that plum, actually. But this just clunks. Nothing all that good and none of it comes together.

335 ml can. Pours a chestnut brown with full head. Aromas of nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same. Thin. If one is going to add all these spices the base beer needs to be bigger IMHO.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with beige head. Mainly just a simple roasted malt stout, feint chocolate, maybe some brine only on the nose, simple, decent.

The ingredients list and "contains shellfish" don't exactly reconcile, but if I was a vegan or allergic to shellfish I'd err on the side of caution with this one. Unless it's worth dying and/or violating one's morals for. Let's find out!
It's black, with a thin head. The aroma is quite toasty, with a light coffee accent. Like a medium roast of low grade Ethiopian coffee. I appreciate it when the Circle K tries to do a cool coffee, but they aren't actually capable.
There's also some chocolatey stuff here, too. It's a lighter stout, a touch on the sweet side, with more of a nutty, chocolatey accent. Probably shells used, no brine. The finish mostly sweet, with similar moderate complexity. Not bad, but not worth compromising what one stands for in order to tick it.

355mL can, pours a muddy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma smells like banana cola – like the second runnings of the shitty imperial banana stout from last year, but without the barrel. Flavour is very light, with plenty of cola and unpleasant banana puree. Totally lifeless body, with a very unpleasant banana character. Embarrassing product.

355mL can. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Marshmallow banana, chocolate, and a weird malt character on the nose. Flavour is thin, fake marshmallow bananas, rice paper malts. Mouthfeel is thin and oily. This is sad, I don't understand why the brewery would release this.
