Can from Binny's Chicago. Hazy black, thin, beige head. Aroma of peanut butter, hazelnut paste, praliné, vanilla, mocha. Taste has a concentrated sweet maltiness of peanut butter, some hazelnut & milk chocolate. Herbal hoppy finish offers slightly bitter creamy coffee, more peanut butter and softly warming liqueur-like alcohol (effectively covered by all that peanut butter). Full body, creamy texture, average carbonation. You get what you want, but it's a bit too much maybe.

Canned 473ml. -at Goblet Zagreb. Unclear orange coloured, small white head, heavy coconut and light pineapple in the nose. Dominant coconut, light pineapple, sweetish fruity and light vanilla with mild acidic finish. Bit too fruity for my taste.

Canned 473ml. -at Goblet Zagreb. Murky carrot juice coloured, minimal head that went away fast, watermelon and ripe mango in the nose. Slightly acidic green mango, watermelon, notes of pomegranate jam and sweetish watermelon finish. Not so thick, even interesting but mango is useless here.

8/9/2022. Can shared by Matt, cheers. Pours cloudy pale orange gold with minimal head. Aroma is sweet, cherry bakewell, marzipan, coconut, pineapple, orange, light toasted marshmallow. Quite heavy sweetness, but with a nice bit of tartness developing. Medium body, soft carbonation. Yes it's sweet but I quite liked it.
