8 ounce can from Tavour. Jet black pour. Brief tan head. Aromas of roasted malt and bourbon. Flavors of dark malt, vanilla, oak and whiskey. Warming alcohol in middle. Further along comes hints of dark chocolate and licorice. The finish is long and bitter. Big brew in a little can!

8oz @ 🏡 shared with Phill.
Aroma: American oak, low to moderately sweet, a bit meaty.
Taste: along the same lines, a lot of caramel somehow, which I wouldn't expect from the imperial stout. Finishes with some bitterness.
Overall: pleasant, but not mind blowing.

Aromos are mild MJ with grassy, malt and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose and more bitter than sweet and okay carbonation. Pretty good.

Aromas are stone fruit with a little citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly sweet with enough bitter and mildly soft carbonation. Decent but not great.

Can.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, no head.
A- Cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar, chocolate fudge, mild booze.
T- Chocolate, mild roast, bourbon, faint baking spice, molasses.
F- Full body, slightly thin texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- Nice. Smells like a stout, tastes like a barleywine. Love the 8 oz cans for beers like this. More subdued than I would expected for the abv. Good stuff.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright gold with a large white head that turned foamy. Aroma of pale malt - seemingly not bready - with a good amount of Noble hop aroma. Arguably med body. It's quite dry and quite bitter. Mostly Noble grass/spice for hop. Excellent pils.
