473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Tart fruity aroma of grainy wheat malt, lemon and juniper. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, lemon and orange peel in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Not terrible. It's refreshing and crushable, just one dimensional. The lemon overpowers everything else. More of a lemon sour than anything else.

473mL can. Pours black with small beige head. Aroma milk, espresso, and vanilla. Flavour has roasted coffee and malts with a bit of vanilla; pretty coffee forward. A bit of a milky aftertaste. Pretty decent.

Amber, beige head. Earthy nose. Palate has no Irish cream, just a vague fruity taste with light sweetness. Meh

On tap at brewery. Pours black with small beige head. Aroma has roasted malts, espresso, notes of chocolate and caramel malts. Flavour dominated by dry roasted malts with some espresso notes. Pretty decent, but the nose was more impressive than the flavour.

On tap at brewery. Pours dark brown with small beige head. Aroma very strongly salted caramel and vanilla. Flavour packs a lot of well-sallted caramel and a bit of coffee. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy, but quite smooth. Definitely toes the line in terms of heavy-handed dessert flavours, but very enjoyable beer.

On tap at brewery. Pours clear dark gold with small white head. Aroma has a lot of pine and floral notes. Flavour predominantly pine and resin with malt and floral notes; some oily resin lingering on the finish. Mouthfeel could be a bit more aggressive, but was very drinkable as is. Good beer.

473 ml can. Pours a very dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of dark sugars, cocoa and roasted malts. Flavors of sugary chocolate, cream and roasted malts with a hint of cinnamon. Big for the ABV but really sugary.
