Can from Tavour. Pours extremely dark mahogany (held against strong light) with a creamy turning foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt with a chocolate note. Med creamy body. Flavor is roasted malt, sort of Tmavy, with notes of chocolate. Neither dry nor sweet. Moderately bitter. Hop is hard to pin down. Floral but spicy. Very good flavor overall.

16oz can from Tavour. Near black pour, subsiding beige head. Roasty aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. Aroma is great, taste is better. Sweet chocolate greets the palate, coffee bitterness floating on top. So smooth and creamy. This is amazing stuff!

Hazy ochre, thin, off-white head. Aroma of diesel, band-aid, medicine, overripe mango & peach. Taste has sweet ripe melon, banana & peach next to bitter, dank weed, onion & diesel. Floral hoppy finish, somewhat herbal, medicinal, ethereal almost; dash of warming gin-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Bit too medicinal, and heavy to drink, but nice to try.
