473mL can, pours black with a small beige head. Nose is pretty mild, with a touch of vinous character and light toasted malt. Flavour is somewhat puzzling, with some nice gentle vinous notes, light red wine tannins, and moderate roast. Tannic, moderately roasty, low residual sweetness. It's subtle, but surprisingly solid.

473ml can that pours a very slight hazy light-golden colour with a fizzy cap that disappears rather quickly and leaves no lacing. Carbonation seems fine with tiny bubbles. Sweet, fruity, hoppy light nose with citrus, pineapples and mild grass. A little sourness comes out in the taste with the citrus and tropical fruit notes. Bitterness is mild and soft with a little dryness in the end. An easy-drinking one, if you like your sours with IPAs.

Can that pours an almost black with hardly any highlights. The head is nice and big, frothy, bubbly, somewhat creamy with good retention. Aromas show a little more chocolate, cacao, with the freshly grinded coffee. Flavours a showing a little less sweetness and more of the roasted malts, mild coffee. Some dark fruits and hints of wood do come out in the nose eventually, even liquorice. Smooth mouthfeel and just enough bite (hop bitterness), alcohol in the finish to help not drag. A good Imperial Stout with a touch of coffee.
