Pour is a murky river water brown with no head. Aroma is pretty much all barrel. Very oaky with some molasses and sugary dark fruit. Flavor is more oak barrel with some cherry and vanilla. Finish is a bit of hot alcohol with some sugary dark fruit. The wood is not so much bourbon it just very oaky. Decent but a bit hot right now, but decent flavor otherwise. This was a expensive $10 can of beer but this is decent after dinner birthday beer.

Pour is a black with a large mocha head. Aroma is roasted malt bitter bakers chocolate and alcohol. Flavor is the same roasted malt, some semi sweet chocolate and some alcohol. Thick and heavy mouthfeel with layers of roasted malt left on the tongue. Pretty good.

Pour is a dark mahogany with a small white head. Aroma is some molasses and cherry malt. Flavor is more molasses and cherry wood with some treacle. Quite flavorful for a beer at only 4.3% abv.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is some cinnamon and a white sugar. Flavor is almost all sweet Hershey chocolate syrup. Finish leaves some chocolate syrup on the tongue. I am no fan of sweet sugary beers and this might be the most sweet and sugary I've ever had. Cloyingly sweet and this is not my thing

Pour is a black with a large tan head. Aroma is cinnamon and some wood smoke. Flavor is pretty much all the adjuncts used. Nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon. Thin mouthfeel but a pretty flavorful spice combo.

Pour is a chill haze blonde with a large white head. Aroma is biscuit malt with lemon drop hops. Flavor is more dry chalky malt with some lemony hops. Finish is again dry as all get out but very clean. Pretty good pilsner.

Lemon peel, lime, grass and biscuit malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with giant white head. Moderately sweet lemon-lime, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter lemon peel and grass flavor. Good body.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a pitch black with a finger of brown head that lingers. Lovely notes of cacao nib, coffee and bourbon on the nose. Good balanced on the palate with a nice oak and bourbon note underneath. Smooth and fairly thick body with a drying bourbon and chocolate focused finish. Coffee notes throughout.
