Bottle, 2020! vintage. Dark chocolate aroma with notes of roasted malt, coconut, coffee, vanilla, whiskey and oak. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has good retention and excellent lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with coconut, vanilla and whiskey flavors. Still quite excellent after 5-ish years.

A can from a local Carry Out store in Cork. Brnja's Stag Party. Hazy ruby red, small firm off-white to pinkish head. Aroma is cherry at first, raspberry, soft funky notes, hinta of candy. Soft tannic notes emerge, also cocoa, cinnamon and blackcurrant. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Flavour is malt, honey and raspberry at first, turning to toast, cocoa and blackcurrant in the finish. Moderate tartness. Puckering. Some cherry candy sweetness lingers in the back. Quite complex with a few compromises here and there.
