From a 440ml can on 13/10/2024. Pours a hazy golden with a medium head. The nose is sharp with some dankness and citrus and stone fruit notes. There more citrus and stone fruit sweetness up front which is met by a sharp, light sour bitterness, which is a touch spicy and features some citrus rind. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Decent enough but just doesn't quite work for me me on the harmony front.

From a 440ml can on 29/9/2024. Pours not far off black with a medium deep tan head. The nose of is choc, caramel and vanilla. The flavour follows suit. Lots of very sweet milk and dark chocolate, salted caramel, vanilla an pecans. Finishes with a very sharp, quite salty roasty bitterness with a warming somewhat boozy finish. The palate is slick, oily and a touch creamy, the carbonation moderate. Straight forward but intense and satisfying.

Can. Very dark brown with a coat of tan head that doesn't last. Lots of coffee in the aroma with some chocolate and roasted malt. Lots of body, low carbonation. In the taste the coffee is less prominent. Sweet mocha, some roast and spices. Bitterness peeks through right at the start and again at the end. Just too sweet - for coffee or beer - for me.

473mL can. Pours black with short-lived tan head. Aroma has coffee, a ton of green pepper, and tequila. Flavour has a lot of coffee, cinnamon, tequila. Seems well-made, but not really working for me.

Poured from 440mL can. Very dark brown with small beige head. Lots of coffee, cinnamon, hint of tequila (the agave gives it a bit of a green note). Okay.

Dark brown. Not much head. The aroma has a fair bit of coffee, though the base beer is rough and there's some vegetal cactus type notes in there as well. It's got a unique character where the tequila sort of conflicts with coffee, but then doesn't conflict. The base beer is good, but not great, it's more the treatment that makes this worth drinking.

440mL can, pours jet black with a small light brown head. Aroma has tons of dark roast coffee, some light green peppers, subtle tequila barrels, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour has plenty of agave/tequila, intense coffee, a hint of cinnamon, and some dark sugars. Tons of agave, tequila and big coffee on the finish. A bit harsh but well-made.

From a 440ml can on 19/6/2024. Poutrs a cloudy light golden with a small head. The nose is sharp, zesty and citrussy, with mild tropical undertones. Tastes of passionfruit, melon, lemon and white grape, finishing with a firm grapefruity bitterness. Silky mouthfeel with average carbonation. Unusually bold for an oat cream but really impressive. Will get again if I can.

pitch black color. A lots of going on here, raspberries, oak, whiskey, smoke, peat, very Low carbonation and bitterness. Sweet full body. A bit too much random things going on and peat and raspberry isn’t an optimal combo. It’s not bad

Can. Black with a tan coat that fades to the rim. Aroma of strong bread, stewed fruit, singed toffee, hints of citrus and stonefruit. Oily, medium low carbonation. Rich with singed toffee, bread & perhaps dark rum before pretty strong bitterness. Spicy at the end. Light fruity notes are swamped. The finish cleans up the richness that comes before but doesn't rush in. Not that sweet. Big, but alcohol is pretty well integrated. Very good. Appreciate they haven't reached for a wet barrel here.
