16 ounce can from Tavour. Jet black pour. Frothy tan head. Aromas of dark roasted malt, mocha and vanilla bean. First sip yields notes of bittersweet chocolate, warming alcohol in middle, vanilla and espresso. Rich and luxurious. Notes of bourbon and oak appear as the brew warms. This is a big, brash brew with tons of flavor and complexity.

Can from the local Grocery Outlet. Pours sort of clear apricot with a moderate white head that didn't persist. Aroma is balanced lime and raspberry. Med body or so. Slightly sour and a little salty. Flavor is more raspberry than lime, but lime is substantial. Fun flavor.

16oz @ SF shared with Brian and Phill.
Aroma: fruity, cinnamony, some sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, roasty, chocolatey. A bit thicker than the rest due to milk sugars added.
Overall: good one.

Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque pitch black color, full sized dark brown colored head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, insane espresso. Flavor is malts, again insane espresso, roast, roasty bitter, dark chocolate. Wow this is intense! And lovely. Absolutely lovely.

Weicher, mild süßer Beginn. Etwas Kaffee, mild herb, cremig, weich, zunehmend Kakao. Süffig, was angesichts des Alkoholgehalts schon speziell ist, intensiv, mittellanger Abgang mit deutlichem Espressoaroma. 10/12/10/10/9/10
