440ml can from Rich's archives, with the understanding this is several years old and past its best. Pours pitch black with a thin tan head. Aroma of oak, rum, dark chocolate. Taste has rum and woody notes to the fore, dark chocolate, the marshmallow and vanilla seems to have disappeared I'm afraid, it's somewhat boozy, but for >10% it's within reason. Full bodied and smooth. Yeah, a bit boozy, and the adjuncts have dissipated, but other than that I'd say it's held up well if you think of it as a non-adjunct stout. Wish I could've tasted it 3 years ago.

440ml can. Opaque golden, white head. Aroma of ripe peach, guava, mango, grapefruit. Taste is very juicy, ripe tropical fruits, guava, peach, mango, grapefruit, lime, and a bit vinous, gooseberry, pithy hop bitterness. Full bodied. Superb. Mindblowing that a homebrewer can bag a collab with one of NY's finest.

440ml can. Clear golden amber, massive white head. Aroma of piney resin, caramel, citrus. Taste of sweet caramel/toffee, bitter piney resin, orange and grapefruit, marmalade, very strong lingering bitter finish. Medium-full bodied. For how sweet this started that is some impressive bitterness. Really enjoyed this one.
