16 oz. shared by tfontana. Thanks T. Aroma of honey, vanilla extract, roast. Flavor is sweet without doubt. Honey is bold throughout with bold vanilla. Dare I say, “too sweet”.

Can pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's an opaque black with thin cap of beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong sweet malts, cherry, honey, vanilla. Taste is strong cherry, roasted malts, vanilla, honey and mild cacao. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, cherry aroma/taste is a bit unexpected--due to the honey? Decent.

Undated can drunk 7/2/22, thanks Tfontana. Dark. Large, dark beige head of moderate retention. Honey, vanilla, sweet herbs and fruity date with no alcohol or flaw. Honeycomb, cacao, cocoa, light fudge. Honey, big fruity esters. Caramel, vanilla and just so much God damned honey. Like it was canned with raw honey. Date and plum I guess. Fairly watery. Not sure I'd call this an IS; more like a brown ale or porter.

Can split at the Watford tasting, from an online peddler, 11/03/22. Hazed orange with a good sized just off white cap. Nose is sweet malts, mandarin, melon, pine nip, citric flesh. Taste comprises sweet malts, mixed tropical fruits, vanilla essence, sweet but not out of kilter. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy hop bitterness. Not bad for the sub genre.

Different Nitro set up to UK cans without the huge hiss. Creamy tan head on a still near black body. Bitter coffee & malt aroma. Medium bodied, super smooth, silky, soft & cloying. Milky coffee, demerara, nutty & syrup tastes with tangy lightly hopped finish. A damn tasty Ale.
