2025 can from Tavour. Pours dark brown/black with a dark tan head that tried for a Guinness then frothed away with lacing. Aroma of chocolate and rye. Arguably full bodied. Not at all dry. Coffee bitterness seems to balance dark malt sugar. Flavor is dark malt, rye spice, chocolate and a lot more. Tasty stuff.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, molasses, coffee. Flavors are similar to nose. Loses most of the molasses and is just right sweet and perfectly balanced with bitter and soft carbonation. Really good.

Can @ home shared with Laura. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, very fruity especially in the aroma, however different than usual. It reminds me of fruit tea tbh. Fruit tea with a bitter finish. Flavor is similar. Odd. I think my wife will love this btw.

Almost honey like sweetness in the Aroma. Then roasted malts. Feels heavy. Flavor is lots of roasted malts with a little bit of dry malty sweetness. Aftertaste last forener. Very clean, no bitter dark caramel. Bourbon in think from the barrel, just after tiny bit of a pastry note, which works, because it is so tempereret. Great imp stout. Holds it's ABV impressively
