Can sample at a Yana's tasting at Stas' place. Viscous yellow-orange, smoothie-like. Lots of winter spices, pumpkin, sweet.

16 oz. can from The Bat Cave. Pours a pitch black color with a small light tan head and good retention. Very good lacing. As expected, strong coconut aroma. Sticky sweet and strong coconut and mild chocolate flavors with a boozy finish. Too sweet. Not enough roasted malts and chocolate flavor to balance the flavor. It's Iike drinking alcoholic suntan lotion. Slick mouthfeel. Medium+ body. Almost no carbonation. Light bitterness. The 10.0% ABV is pretty well hidden, but you're gonna need a nap. Too sweet and too much alcohol.

Pineapple hitting first, then cherry all along, finishing with coconut. This is very well done, quite impressive.

Smell- medium strong, chocolate, mint candy, cocoa, malt, cake-like, nice, bit artificial feeling. Foam- thin, malt, caramel, mint, sugar, and more mint. Head is small, medium dark brown in color. Appearance- simple can. Black or very dark brown in color, weak carbonation. From - snifter Taste - sweet, malt, caramel, mint, chocolate, candy, weak roast in the mix together with some bitter tones. Not overly sweet, but very minty. I somewhat like it, feels a bit artificial, but mint is nice,
