Can. Roasted, almost burnt toffee, caramel, roasted malts and some dark dried fruit. Boozy. A bit too boozy this one, but quite a lot of good things going on. 747414 260813

473ml can. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, average to huge, dense, creamy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, dark brown head. Slightly BA disguised, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, some caramel, hints of cognac, perfumed, herbal overtones, a touch of mint. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty, slightly herbal, minimally woody, notes of dark chocolate, hints of mint, a touch of cognac, cream.
Creamy to viscous texture, smooth, soft and minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, soft carbonation.
Excellent mouthfeel, nice composition, maybe a tad too much BA dominated - enjoyable.

Pour is a murky river water brown with no head at all. Aroma is tootsie rolls with raisins. Flavor is super sweet molasses with a super sweet toffee aftertaste. It's sweet. Finish has some alcohol and tobacco. Nice to sample but way on the sweet side.

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent gold with a slight, transient white head. Lime wafts from the pour. Med body or so. Flavor is lime, vanilla, meringue. Not getting graham flour. A yeasty thing pops up after awhile. Nice drink.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, head subsides to thin, fine layer of foam. Aroma is lime curd with a hint of vanilla. Taste is lime, tart, meringue. Very refreshing.

Red brown with a trace soapy beige head. Boozy with toffee, fruit and an off note - no doubt due to age. Very long finish. Full bodied but undercarbonated. Not at its best - which is likely why they sold it to me at deep discount.

Taste is sweet, caramel malty and slightly sugary, yeasty fruity and slightly alcoholic, notes of caramel, treacle, rock sugar, cherry, some dried fruit, raisin, date, plum, a touch of banana, toffee.
Slightly viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, medium to fine, prickly carbonation.
Quite sweet and sugary, nice fruitiness but overall rather clean, not much depth - OK.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some huge bourbon notes with vanilla and residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some bourbon notes and vanilla with residual sugar notes. Body is full with an oily texture and good carbonation with some discernible alcohol notes. Huge BA stout with a good balance of flavours and not light on bourbon notes.
