16oz can from Tavour. Murky, hazy straw colored pour, persistent layer of off-white creamy head, sticky lacing. Aroma is hoppy, strong, light citrus, stone fruit. Taste starts with a tangy nip, zesty, grapefruit, creamy feel and a pleasant burn all the way down.

Can.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal light brown head.
A- Roasty, black coffee, mild vanilla.
F- Roast, black coffee, mild vanilla, chocolate, slightly bitter.
T- Medium body, slightly thick texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- Clearly some high quality beans in this brew. One of the better coffee beers I've had in recent memory. Not sweet but also not a vegetal earthy coffee flavor. Like a nice cup of single origin coffee with a hint of booze. Tasty.

Aromas are an odd interesting mix of white wine, citrus, resin and floral. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose and on the sweet side. Not quite balanced. Drinkable but I wouldn't want another.

Aromas are bread, wet grain, malt and herbs. Flavors are similar to nose and on the sweet side. Thought it was going to be a bit more dry and crisp from the description.

16 oz can. Aroma is packed with coffee, some dark chocolate, maple. Pours motor oil black with a half finger tan head that settles into a ring after a minute. Taste is bittersweet and a little tart with flavors of coffee and dark chocolate. Reminiscent of a strong cup of sweetened coffee.

16 oz can. Aroma is Very mild pine and herb with some citrus fruits. Flavor shows orange, tangerine, and subtle peach. Very mild herb undertone. But this really shows a bold amount of fruit. A very mild hint of floral in the finish. Soft mouthfeel and almost no bitterness. I think this is wonderful!
