Canned Jan 15, 2024, drunk 8/21/25.
Clear, dark. Dark tan head, slowly to cover.
18 months old and still hoppy as shit. Moderate roast, heavy whiskey, dry and tannic with no respite from sugar in any form. Smells like they haven't changed the recipe in years! But no booze noted.
Soft, rich, bitter, hoppy, toasty, yet not too hoppy or toasty. But hoppy and roasty. Just rich enough in body but not quite syrupy. Big caramel vibes with long toffee and molasses. Whiskey is solidly done. Big malt, whiskey, roast, hop but not too much of any of it. Strikes a delicate balance.

Can from Tavour. Pours very hazy gold with a slight and rather transient beige head. Aroma is lots of peach. Cinnamon note. Med body. Flavor is definitely lots of peach and a good dose of cinnamon. Pretty much nails peach cobbler.
