Can from Tavour. Pours lightly hazy copper with a moderate foamy white head. Aroma of citrus/pineapple/melon/caramel. Med body or better. Flavor is melon/citrus/light caramel/ either pineapple or passion fruit. Some leafy green aspects. Gets a tad earthy now and then. Quite impressive. Fairly dry, but there's a good dose of malt that comes forth with time. At least moderately bitter. Nice drink.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a medium, fine, brown head. The nose is strong coffee, caramel, chalk, vanilla, and oats. Sweet and malty, with a sharp, roasted bitterness. Medium to heavy body, with a creamy, lightly astringent palate. This is an aggressive and tasty coffee stout.

19.2 oz can from Tavour, 2/25/20. Pours a near black-brown, thin head, no lace. Bourbon / booze and vanilla over the chocolate and coffee. Not that sweet, but quite boozy on the flavor and the mouthfeel. Feels every drop of it's high ABV. Good, but the way the heat overpowers the mocca makes it not quite there for great for me. 7/3/7/3/15
