2023 bottle thanks to Brian. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, cocoa, green pepper, booze. Slick body, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coconut, boozy finish, very good.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a half finger of white foam that dissipates instantly. Dried pineapple and citrus on the nose. Dry on the palate with natsukmikan, pith and mango skin. Feels a bit muddled on the palate and I still need more carbonation from Wax Wings, but nonetheless enjoyable.

Can picked up from Kihoskh and shared at home (28/09/2023) - Intense juicy fruity with a plethora of citrus and tropical fruity goodness in play, sweet malty backbone, warming assertive hoppy finish. A little old but still bright and vibrant hoppy. Great stuff.

Medium orange-brown body, medium off-white to cream head. Aroma thick and sweet with candied orange and berries. Big, tangy, sweet body with candied orange and papaya and lots of honey. Overwhelmingly big.

Bottle drunk 9/29/23. Clear, dark amber to mahogany. No head. Sticky raisin, lead and spice with strong mineral and late harvest red grapes. Get the mezcal spice and vegetal character on the finish. No booze. Soft, rich, spicy, bourbony, not too much mezcal. Raisin, chocolate and vanilla. So much spice. Good chewiness, sweet, not too much so. The mezcal is lovely and tastefully done. Ok, these guys are legit.
