330ml can. Pretty much as per the description here so fine if you like big dose of bitter with your stout. Too much for me.

Pint can, 2025 vintage. Hazelnut aroma with notes of chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep brown with a finger of creamy mocha brown head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and hazelnutty flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with vanilla, bourbon and oak flavors. A little unrefined but still quite delicious.

12oz can. Slightly foggy light orange peach pour. Sticking fine lasting head and lacing . Tropical mango and melon in the hop flavors. Smooth and a little heavy. Some sweetness goes with the big abv nicely. Quite good

Can. Clear golden with lasting white head. Zesty notes up fromt with geapefruit and orange, crisp malts, light grassy. Just medium sweet, a bit less bitter. Crisp medium body. This has a joce light and crisp malt base, some nice citrus hops but all in all it lacks a bit of flavour and punch. Quite drinkeable though.

Can. Pours clear chestnut, medium tan head, good residual and lacing. Aroma is nutty, whiskey, roasty, vanilla. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter. Medium body. A bit rough and unrefined. Not my favorite.

Can - pours jet black with a thick tan head that settles to a clingy lace - nose is vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, whiskey, oak, earthy, mushroomy malt - creamy texture, full body - unlike other beers with this kind of adjunct addition, it is not overly sweet and the hazelnut and vanilla do not bludgeon you over the head - they are present but compliment the barrel treatment and malt tones of chocolate, coffee, slight umami, light red wine - warming, lightly oaky finish - it’s nice.

0.473l can. Aroma of caramel, pine and citrus. Pours clear dark brown color with soapy light brown head. Taste starts refreshing fruity and piney with sweet and rich toasted malty backbone, following is herbal and medicinal, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is dry and bitter. Full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Strong winter warmer…

16 oz can from a four pack from Costco. Aroma has notes of coffee, hazelnut, vanilla, licorice, cocoa, wood, molasses. Pours very dark brown to black with a one finger tan head with decent retention. Taste is fairly sweet with a firmly bitter edge. Roasty flavors of the aroma descriptors. Mouthfeel is nearly velvety but more prickly.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a monstrous and persistent creamy tan head that started to lace but sort of stalled. Aroma of chocolate, hazelnut and vanilla. Also a bourbon note. Med plus body. Flavor is the aroma. Hazelnut is strong. Bourbon second. Chocolate third. Malty as heck, but I don't have a word to apply to it. Strong, smooth flavors.
