12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with a bright white head and decent retention. Only a few spots of lacing. Chocolate and cream aroma. The taste follows the nose: Milk chocolate, vanilla, and cream ale flavors blended together, with a little more vanilla flavor than chocolate. Kind of reminds me of a golden stout. Interesting mix. I like the unique profile, yet I wouldn't want a lot of these. Medium body and medium carbonation. Very low bitterness. Well done.

Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a three finger off-white foamy head which eloquently dissipated and left a sly bit of lace
Aroma: dark smooth bread, caramel malts, toasted bread, and some dark fruits
Flavor: sweet and toast through previously mentioned aromas, delicate toasty and sweet aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it, some noticeable alcohol tones but not too distracting, dark fruity and toasty finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done doppelbock worthy of more pours.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: black color with a thin tan foamy head which quickly dies off to leave a lil bit of concave lace.
Aroma: smells exactly like macaroons - the coconut, the chocolate with a base beer of the stout-like features
Flavor: sweet, roasty, doughy then a sweet coconut to chocokatey aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, smooth along my tongue, finishes sweet through the coconut and chocolate
Overall: nicely done imperial pastry stout done up like a macaroon. I'd bang this again.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a slight transient tan head. Aroma of dark malt and vanilla. Full bodied. Quite malty - far from dry. Flavor is bitter roasty dark malt, vanilla and some hints of chocolate and darkish fruit. Quite bitter. Must be from the malt. A white chocolate aspect begins to appear. Quite amazing.

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.
