12oz can from Tavour. Cloudy golden pour with a fizzy head. Aroma is dill, pickle juice. Taste brings a zesty, almost spicy kick, pickles and dill. Fast finish despite the zesty bite.

Cheap can from chalet. Pop the lid for a big beefy peanut butter nose. Pour is big and black, large and in charge. Head fades to nothing immediately. First taste is burnt bitter peanut butter. That singed bitterness lingers for quite a while, whew. Yes, underneath the peanut butter flavor is some scorched coffee that supports the overall overdone attitude of this brew. Think about this: Burnt roasted peanuts mixed with coffee that sat on the burner all day mixed together in a food processor. Yea, thru the middle, this is heavy duty peanut butter and it does not hide its alky character well. Near unpleasant charred coffee finish. Very unique in the peanut beer arena. Fer Sher.

Can @ HJ Hansen, Odense. 30 quid. Pours black with a small fading head. Young Wood, Chocolate and coffee and this after eight / fazers mint Chocolate vibe. Dammn. Lacking barrel depth. Lovely series and I hoped this would be the old Boris vibe. Not quite. 3.9.

Can (Best by 3/12/34) from Westmere Beverage, Albany. Opaque, motor oil black, loud, fizzy head with poor retention, nice sparkle, nice viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is strong, earthy malt, vanilla, whiskey. Taste is strong earthy malt, molasses, oak, whiskey, spice, vague background undercurrent of dark fruit. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, alcohol warmth, crisp finish as taste. Very nice! Subtle flavor contributions for many components but good complexity vs. aroma. Enjoyable.

Can.
A- Gold color, slightly hazy liquid, off white head.
A- Pickle brine, subtle pepper spice.
F- Pickle brine, slightly salty, peppery, slightly spicy.
T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, spicy finish.
O- I like a good pickle beer and I was told this had horseradish in it which I don't know if that is true or not. Not bad but it's a novelty. Definitely had a hot finish which I didn't expect based on the initial palate. Okay. More fun than anything else.

Aromas are lemonade pale beer. Flavors are similar to nose. Just slightly more sweet than tart with just right carbonation. Tasty lemonade shandy that hides its strength.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight tan head. Aroma of graham flour and marshmallow. Full bodied. Quite malty. Quite sweet, but not sticky. Malt is somewhat balanced by roasty malt bitterness. And by some dark chocolate bitter. Definitely has graham flour and marshmallow. Nicely done.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a small and transient dark tan head. Aroma has brandy and chocolate. Full bodied. Not dry. Avoids sticky. Flavor is the aroma with some dark toffee, heat and some oak astringency. Heat and wood fairly balance the malt.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear rather cherry red with a small tan head. Aroma has a lot of smoke. Med body. Smoky and fairly dry. Bitter and a little spicy. Perhaps Nobel hop. The smoke suggests a fruit wood. I could think cherry. Just excellent lager.
