Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roast and peanut butter. Med plus body. Not dry, but not sticky. Heat is discernible. Bitter from roast I think. Chocolate is dark. Thankfully the PB is not oerwhelming.

22 ounce waxed and capped bottle from Tavour. 2015 Reserve. 11.1% ABV. Slightly hazed amber brown color. Small creamy beige cap. Aroma of earthy funk, toasted malt and dark cherries. Flavor is an interesting combination of aged oak, dark cherries, Bretty funk and warming alcohol. There is an underlying sweetness throughout. Slightly tart, vinous and dry on the backend. Quite unique and a huge departure from Deschutes.

Imperial pint can (arguably excessive). Clear amber with a large near white head. 3+ Pretty reserved aroma with mango, pine, caramel. Medium bodied. Opens up in the taste with more citrus and pine, sweet breadcrust or bun meeting the mango. Can feel the alcohol a bit towards the fairly bitter finish. Doesn't do enough to justify its strength but it's pretty good.

Can (8/7/24) from Greg & Jane's. Virtually opaque dark brown w/slight mahogany, thick head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, molasses, toffee. Taste is strong earthy molasses and toffee. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not sure it's quite like the original but excellent strength and is tasty in its own right.
