375ml bottle, 2024 vintage, thanks Craig and Sarah! Chocolate aroma with notes of caramel, roasted malt, toffee, treacle, molasses, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has no retention and very little lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate, toffee, treacle and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with caramel, molasses, vanilla and noir flavors as well as a good amount of warming booziness at the very end. Complex and flavorful, an excellent sipper that hides the high alcohol very well.

As thickly sweet and delicious as always, truck load of boozy chocolate caramel, but smooth as ever for me. Delish.

Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a decent white head. Aroma is citrus, mango, melon, peach. Med body. Juicy but nicely bitter. Flavor is complex. I'll go with the aroma. Very good flavor.

Illegibly-dated can drunk 7/2/25.
Fully collapsing head quickly to nothing. Moderately-to-heavily hazy, lemon-bronze.
Really light, bright nose with a bit of spice, stone fruit, lemon and juicy tropical fruit. Honey-like malt gently supports. Clean, no resin or weirdness.
Big and malty belting its size with spice, tropical fruit, lemon and maybe a bit more Strata-derived pineapple than I'd like. But that's my only complaint. Otherwise this is clean, malty, very flavorful, balanced and appropriately bitter.

Canned May 2025, drunk 6/26/25.
Clear, brass-golden. Large, white head, falls steadily to spotty cover.
BIG, BIG Saaz nose and it's absolutely gorgeous. Fresh cut grass, fresh herbs and such with a healthy backing of honey and dough from the malt. They squeezed every ounce out of the hops and yet it doesn't feel overdone. Lingering acidity with mineral and yeast. Clean.
Lighter body, you can tell it's a lower abv. But it's not glaring, and there's still plentiful honey-like malt depth with good attenuation. Dough and biscuit join in, as fresh herb galore explodes on the gently bitter, balanced finish with mineral and yeast lingering. This is stunning, especially given its tiny size. Almost as much body and flavor as a 5 or 5.5% pils. Well, if you thought Anchorage was all ADWTD and IPAs, think again...
