Can, Beer Cartel Advent Box. Deep brown, a brief wisp of beige head. Aroma of whisky fudge, toffee, vanilla, some dried fruit. Getting towards syrupy, low carbonation. Big toffee and dried fruit, floaty whisky and oak, firm bitterness. Like that the barrel is a supporting player. Good.

Pours amber with a large white head.
Nose shows heavy booze, cognac by the truckload, a bit abrasive, almost solvent/supa-glue-like.
Flavours include grapes, oak, golden syrup and a faint acidity. Subtle carries through.

Aromas of orange, pineapple, mango and a hint of apricot and cream. Smooth mouthfeel with the oats playing a slightly bigger role in the flavour than I'd like, but that's the only criticism.

(Can) Pours sludgy pink with no head. Aroma of raspberry and ricotta type cheese. Thick with good carbonation. Great taste. Nicely sour with raspberries. Cheesy creamy balance. Very good.

From a 440ml can on 18/3/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. Has a moderate tropical (primarily pineapple nose). Pineapple dominates on the sip, along with zesty orange, that leads into a tangy, slightly spicy and dry bitter finish. Pleasant enough.

From a 440ml can on 15/3/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a smallish head. Has pleasant stone and citrus fruit nose. Tastes strongly of orange and nectarine, with a good dash of apricot and mango, finishing with a moderate tangy bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Really cohesive and very tasty.

From a 440ml can on 3/2/2026. Pours a hazy deep golden with a medium head. The nose features light stone fruit and tropical notes. Tastes fruity - mainly peach and mango, with some zesty orange, leading to a firmish, lightly spicy bitterness, with just a hint of sour. Fullish body with moderate carbonation. Solid enough, if lacking the wow factor.

Pours hazy gold with a large white head.
Nose shows peach, spicy hops, soft resinous hops and clean malt.
Flavours include more pine, very clean malt, mango, lychee, pear and peach. Quite an assertive bitterness.

From a 440ml can on 29/11/2025. Pours a creamy, thick aqua with not much of a head. The nose is fruity, sweet and tart all at once. Tastes pretty sweet up front - a blamange of fruit, vanilla and coconut, with a nice finish. The colour and appearance are quite spectacular, combined with a super creamy, gloopy experience on the palate, with moderate carbonation. Perhaps not quite up there with One Drop's best in the style, but very enjoyable.

From a 440ml can on 28/11/2025 (shared by Ed with thanks). Can has a sticker that says shake me, and for good reason. Pours like chocolate cream with a big weird gloopy brown head. The nose is strong choc brownie, with mud cakey notes. Tastes of chocolate cream, with tons of vanilla and coconut. Super sweet up front but its met by a pretty full on warming, boozy, lingering bitter finish that provides some nice balance to the experience. The palate is amazingly creamy, think and genuinely gloopy with creamy chunks and the bottom of the glass. An unusual dessert experience that while not quite flawless, is very enjoyable indeed.
