473ml can. Hazy golden, white head. Aroma of mangosteen, mango, lime, grapefruit. Taste is sweet, lots of ripe mangosteen, lime, grapefruit, mango, the mangosteen does overpower the hops quite a bit though. Medium bodied. A bit sweet for me, think the original Ripe is better, but the mangosteen addition is very nice.

(I originally thought mangosteen was a tasting note as per the description, but it does say "with Mangosteen" on the label.)

500mL bottle, pours jet black, almost no head. Nose has plenty of almonds, some cocoa, huge bourbon barrels, and a touch of coconut — yeah, that’s nice. Flavour is rich, with intense almonds, coconut, and bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. Not too sweet at all, with a wonderful barrel espresso and great use of the almonds and coconuts. Wonderful.

12 oz. can, pours jet black, like motor oil, no head. Aroma is full of intense maple syrup, big bourbon barrels, and dark sugars. Flavour has huge maple syrup, big bourbon barrels, sticky sugars, burnt notes. A bit brutal and lacking complexity, but that’s par for the course for Double Stack nowadays.
