375 ml bottle from Tavour. Cloudy golden pour, small short lived foamy head. Aroma is fruity, candied orange peel, juicy, tropical. Taste layers all of the aromas on top of a nice bulky, malty base. So delicious! Absolutely loved this!

Bottle from Tavour. Ruddy brown pour, small, thin beige head. Something seems off from the start. Aroma is sweet, more fruitcake than gingerbread. Taste is a mess, cardboard, faint ginger, just off. And it wasn't just me, I brought this to a share (all beer geeks) and everyone was turning up their noses at this. I think the Kuhnhenn name was the only thing that saved this from being a drain pour.

2024 bottle, as pictured, drunk 11/27/25.
Chocolate and oak with less bourbon. Probably 3rd or so use barrels. Char, salt, soy oxidation and a good deal of dark fruit and bread. Low roast and no booze keep it approachable.
Sweet milk chocolate up front with raisin and prune. A big bitterness, more hop like than barrel-derived, asserts itself to balance. Sweet and malty with a thick, chewy texture. Dries out nicely with continued hop bitterness and moderate oakiness. Salt, char, smoke add complexity on the edges. No alcohol in flavor, either. Nice for sipping and the hop bitterness is unique. Some moderate roast builds over the course of the bottle, which I don't think adds anything to the beer.

Update. As is often the case, further down the bottle, it's just getting too sweet. I haven't even had 5 ounces and I'm already considering dumping the rest. It's as if all this hop and roast acidity is hiding a rather under attenuated beer. It's not brutally sweet or anything, but this isn't a beer to drink much of. Which, to be fair, it doesn't have to be. But I suppose I've started to get used to a lot of the top tier BA stuff from breweries like Side Project, Barreled Souls, Hill Farmstead, where the beer goes down like water.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of coffee, cocoa, vanilla, gun metal, bell pepper, burnt caramel. Pours very dark brown to black with a thin beige head that settles into a ring quickly. Taste is bittersweet and roasty. Palate is a little thin and watery.

Aromas are bred, dry grain, malt and a bit of hop. Flavors are similar to nose. Mildly sweet with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. A little too sweet for my taste. Wish you was dryer and crisper.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear brassy gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is bready with some grass. Near med body. Clean. Bready but dry. Light grass/spice bitterness. Nice flavor, tho not very strong - xpt perhaps for the spice which persists.

What bigfoot wishes it was heheheh, mild oxidation, thin body, tobacco and raisins for days. Nice hops on the nose and front. Raisins throughout.
