16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is soft cinnamon, bread, mild coffee. Body is a little bit thinner than the blueberry donut we had prior. Flavor still good texture is still smooth and itβs not overly sweet.
It is more bread as opposed to doughnut. Good, not great.

Can from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Opaque black, thin head quickly fading to ring, nice viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is maple, custard bread (as opposed to donut), cinnamon. Taste is vague fruit, then expected cinnamon, maple, milder custard bread. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste, no sign of alcohol. French toast is definitely there, but not quite the depth and richness of the Blueberry version.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is bold blueberry with just a hint of cinnamon. I could smell it from the crack of the can. The flavor has a night doughnut/ cake savory texture to it. Full body and dough-like. Huge blueberry without getting cloying. No beating around the bush, this is fantastic!

Can from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Opaque dark brown, ring of head, light viscosity, nice lacing. Aroma is strong blueberry jam, donut cake, cinnamon. Taste is a blueberry crumb donut. Period. Smooth, thick texture, medium bodied, alcohol completely hidden, finish as taste. Appropriately sweet--it's approximating a blueberry donut after all!--but avoids being cloyingly sweet! What a pleasant surprise!!! Almost certainly the best donut-inspired beer I've ever had!

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet milk chocolate, some dark chocolate, sweet creamy to sugary milky accents
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas together sweetly and seemed to add a light roasty coffee taste underneath, light aftertaste of sugary tones and milk chocolate.
Texture: medium bodied, surely a sipper, extremely creamy smooth along the tongue, finishes decadently smooth
Overall: no need for any other food or beers sampled that night after this one, you want sheer decadence in a glass, look nowhere else, it's right here.

Can.
A- Black color, dark liquid, light brown head.
A- Chocolate, mild cinnamon, sweet.
F- Maple, chocolate, mild cinnamon, vanilla, sweet.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.
O- Very sweet and a bit cloying. Needs some more complexity. Didn't get but of a donut flavor just a sugar bomb. Really only chocolate sauce and cinnamon through the tasting.

Can, from Vinyl Beer, Manhattan NYC (July 2025). Pours opaque dark brown with a large spongy tan head, chocolate-donut aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet chocolate-donut taste that turns medium bitter with cocoa nibs flavor, alcohol undertones, smooth thin body, long medium bitter finish with alcohol aftertaste. Strong and tasty, but alcohol escapes a bit.
