7/10
One Stop advent calendar 12/24. Highest ABV yet. Nice vanilla notes and a bit of chocolate, but it finishes a little boozy and bitter. Thankful this one is a 12oz can!

3$ can from vintage. Clear orange brown, very thin white head. Nose of old aged hoppy beer, date code Feb 2025. Initial sip is terribly bitter with a hint of weird orange. Yes another gulp reveals a chaos, disarray, jumble, clutter, of a bastardly muddle.A dishevelment, untidiness of randomized litter. Shambles, tangle, rat's nest and snake pit bullshit. Middle follows with pandemonium, turmoil, bedlam, mayhem and palate wrecking uproar. Finish is anarchy, lawlessness and viscous misrule. A terribly on style impy double IPA fer sher. What else can be said? Coasts? 903 don't need no coasts. This mess is certainly a can of worms, train wreck car crash. There, you have from the lager lover's horses mouth. Whew.

3$ can from vintage estate. Pour is pale with a slight light orange tint. Virtually clear but there is some haze in this one. Barely any head, just pond scum. Fresh aroma mild fruit. First taste makes me think there's more alky in here tan 5%. Some hints of fruit in there, but difficult to say what kind. Yes, somewhat tart, but not as tart as the label would lead you to believe. Decent co2 level, could use more. Also, can't really pick out any salt in the gohzah. Interestingly, it does have a bit of a vodka, or is it juniper, hiding in there somewhere. Some warming sensations in the middle. Not too bad. Could have a few manners for a so called tart brew.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of dark bread, roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, nuts. Pours very dark brown to black with a one+ finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is lightly sweet and roasty with some light bitter hoppiness on the edges.

From a 3$ can at vintage estate. Despite the description as golden, the pour is darker brown but not black like a milk stout. Virtually no head. Mildly smells like chocolate milk. Taste is very boozy for a 6.5% brew. It almost comes across like a mixed whisky drink. It also has a warming sensation. From the experiences, I'd swear this is more like 8 er 9%. Getting some malted milk in the middle. Difficult to enjoy, its such a mess. Not sure where the coffee is. Maybe this should be styled as a pastry stout, its bull-shitty sweet and cloying like those. To call this a beer may be a mistake. I'm not picking up any ale nor lager in this bomb. Finish is rude poorly made affogato tiramisu, without the coffee, blah.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a tan head that did something of a Guinness, but quickly left. Aroma of dark rosst malt. Med body. Flavor is dark roast malt, a bit of chocolate and definitely a little coffee. Not very sweet / coffee bitter. Nice schwarz.
