Can from Friar Tuck, Crestwood. Inky black with nice viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, vanilla, milk chocolate, milder dark fruit. Taste is strong bourbon, vanilla, molasses, late chocolate, maple syrup, hint of dark fruit. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, alcohol hidden, finish as taste. Wild Turkey isn't a favorite bourbon of mine but taste is complex and strong and makes up for what aroma lacks. A bit sweet but a lot going for it.

Pour is a chill haze gold with a large white head. Aroma is a pretty good pale bready malt. Flavor is more bready malt with a bit minty hop finish. Way more body and hop than a typical Mexican lager. This was pretty good for a bargain bin pickup from a brewery I've never heard of.

16 oz can at Chicago-Style Roller Derby. No cup, but I can see the pink on the can top. Fruity tart nose. Similarly fruity taste, with a creamy lactic side. Does have a reminder of fruity Trix cereal.

16 oz can. Aroma is subtle coconut and roasted malt. Flavor is smooth and rich with chocolate, cacao and mild lingering coconut. The coconut is natural. Great texture and mouth feel. It does not get overly sweet at any point.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark purple pour, ring of light purple head. Jam-my aroma, light tartness. Taste adds granola, hint of vanilla, with lactose offering up sweetness and a creamy feel. Not too tart, dries out towards the finish.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of vanilla, granola, berries--amazing, that's what's listed on the label. Pours murky purple with a thin purple-white head that settles into a ring pretty quickly. Taste is moderately sour (6/10) and pretty sweet with flavors like the aroma. Softly carbonated velvety mouthfeel.
