Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a transient, slight rusty tan head. Aroma of bourbon, chocolate and dark toasted malt. Full bodied. Lots of sweet burnt malt and lots of chocolate and bourbon. Notes of dark fruit. Not at all dry. Not enough heat to balance the sugariness. Yet bourbon, chocolate and heat render it quite delicious.

Sampled from the tap at Bottle Theory. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has dank citrus and blood orange with a touch of melon and grain backing. Flavor has dank citrus and some mango with grass and melon underlying.

16 oz can. Thank you Clarkvv on the share. Aroma is old coffee, whole leaf tobacco, prune. Flavor follows with a mild note for booze. No alcohol burn burn. Decent.

Can shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Inky black with light viscosity. Aroma is strong earthy malt with bourbon. Taste is as aroma. Smooth texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. Very nice.

2024 Can, as pictured, drunk 11/1/25.
Rich with tobacco and maple. Woody and with just a hint of roast. Slight oxidation. Fair bit of alcohol.
Heavy tobacco and dark chocolate with earth and alcohol. Cherry, vanilla, pepper and barrel. And then kind of a fuck ton of alcohol. Chewy texture, with drying pepper and lead and more alcohol. Too much.

Aromas are a blend of citrus rind, resin, spice, wet grain and a little malt. Flavors are similar to nose. On the sweet side with enough carbonation and bitter to balance. Slightly sweet finish.

Tavour: pours amber with off white head. Aroma is caramel and grain. Taste is sweet. Low bitterness. Very much on the heavily malted side of things.

Draught @ The Longroom, Chicago IL (Sept 2024). Clear dark amber/copper with a small frothy off-white head, faintly smokey grassy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter smoked malt taste with piney flavor, thin body, long smokey finish. Great brew!
