Deep dark brown with a decent beige head,. Molasses and cocoa. Bitter molasses and a nice finish. Not bad, old style.

330mL bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out medium roasted malt, some iodine, and a hint of coffee. Flavour is nicely roasted, with a pleasant roasted malt character and a tiny hint of earthiness. Nice roasted character but the palate is on the thinner side. Pleasant.

Bottle at Black Christmas March 2022
Dark amber colour. It doesn't have the depth of a Barley Wine, but it's balanced between the bready malts and alcohol; light cocoa.

Poured from 330mL bottle at Black Xmas. Hazy brown with small off white head. Caramel, nearing cloyingly sweet, lacks complexity, very one note, but not a drain pour.

Bottle carried back from Chili by Stacey. Dark brown in color. Flavor is nutty, charred malt, a tad caramel like. Mouthfeel is more medium like a brown ale. Maybe a stout in Chili but not America.

Bottle carried back from Chili by Stacey. Orange in color liquid. Ample carbonation. Aroma and flavor are the same. Very malt dominated. Hops are hard to find. Meh

330ml bottle [thanks again to Grumbo for this one and the whole ensemble!]. Darkest brown colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, some coffee, minimally bready, spicy overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately dark malty, slightly roasty, notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, some cocoa, a touch of coffee, some caramel, cautious fruity hoppy overtones with a touch of plum. Rather light, clean, easy drinkable.
