3$ can @ vintage. Virtually clear off pale. White head stays. Nose of cheap american malt likker that sat on the shelf for 2 years. It says best by 4/2027, so I'm not sure what's going on. Taste is cheap near cloying sweet american malt likker as well, whew. Difficult. Not as bad as Jaguire Ice, Luckyn Number High Gravity nor Stack 101, but this shite is pretty bad. At least it does have a little carbonation to ease up on the abhorrentness, whew. In the middle, the near cloy is not yielding. It simply wants you to know what it is. I'm surprized market garden would allow release of this brew, its way below their character. Finish is atrocious, aborning abominable and shocking; think Rosemay's baby! Would not do again, blah. I'd say this is on the level of Dog Bite, Silver Ice, Evil Eye, Hurricane and Camo. Somebody forgot to put this in a brown paper bag, hehehehh.

Near clear pale yellow from a 2$ can at chalet premiere, nice place! No head, just a little pond scum on top. Nose is boozy soda pop. First taste is quite lemony, with a mild to medium tart background, just like a good shandy should. But right away, that booze starts kicking in. Like those fortified malt soda bombs. Now getting a warming sensation in the middle. I must say though, there is a goodly amount of carbonation in there that keeps it somewhat refreshing. In the end, as the label says, its a simple boosted shandy. So be it. Finishes with a alky punch. Had this in the fridge for a while because I was not looking forward to it, but now I'm glad its over and done with.

A dense, low tan head on a near black body. The nose is fresh ground coffee, cocoa and roasted malt. Well deserved high ratings. Taste profile features nicely roasted malt, coffee, milk chocolate, rich dark berries, toffee, a hint of vanilla and an underlay of citrus hops. Above average density and viscosity, probably from the oatmeal, Great blend, sustains well. A real keeper

Can from Tavour. Pours ruddy amber with a monstrous tan head that persisted. Aroma is spicy/malty. Med body. Not dry but barely sweet. Some spicy bitterness. So caramel and spice for flavor. Really good.

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes or roasted malt, chocolate, alcohol, vanilla and oak. Taste is medium to heavy sweet and medium bitter with a long warm, roasted, chocolate, vanilla and oak finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.
