Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 5/23/23. Black, medium dark brown head, poor retention. Aroma of roast, raisin, cherry, oak, vanilla, whiskey, coffee. Taste is roast, oak, vanilla, whiskey, raisin, cherry, chocolate (and fuck, that was just the first sip). Also some coffee and green notes. A bit thin for the style. Moderate booze. Could use a tiny bit of refinement but overall very interesting and complex. Very nice.

16oz can. Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a small white head. Aroma was light key limes, citrus. First couple sips of this didn't really do it for me, but as I consumed it the key lime really grew and felt quite enjoyable amongst the citrus haze.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white and light brown head. Aroma of nuts, molasses, roasted malts, some oatmeal and a good dose of caramelised sugars and toffee. Medium-bodied; Pretty rich malt flavours show at first with a good oatmeal bite and some vanilla here, with a lot of nuts and rustic earthiness that shows up, but the sweetness seems to dominate with some smooth nutty malts on the finish to balance this out nicely. Aftertaste shows some richness from the sugars and a great balance of malts with the requisite nuttiness and some soft bitterness from the burnt sugars, but altogether, a nice product. Overall, a nice and robust beer with a lot of nutty flavours, but the sugars, toffee, molasses, caramel and vanilla notes remain the strongest, in a great way. Nice to sample and well worth trying to find, especially in the season! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia (Potomac Yard) on 13-November-2022 for US$4,49 sampled as Day #2 of my 2022 Beer Advent Calendar (self-created) sampled in my hotel room here in New York, New York, while away visiting for Christmas with my family on 02-December-2022.

16oz can. Poured a nice, moderately deep red color with a small off-white head. Aroma was creamy vanilla cherry skins. Cherry, really nice. It's not super sweet.
