Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a huge dark tan head - performed something a la Guinness in a moderate way. Aroma of coffee and lactose. Med body. A little sweet and a little bitter. Flavor is lactose, chocolate, and arguably coffee. Acquires an earthy note in the finish. Coffee gains strength with time. Nice.

Can from Tavour. Pours like a Guinness. Dark brown with a huge tan head that went foamy and lacy. Aroma of malt like a Scotch ale with donuts having a little cinnamon. Med body. Flavor is like the aroma, but the Scotch ale thing is stronger as is the cinnamon. Interesting but not very beer like. Not dry and not bitter.

16 oz. can. Aroma is roasted coffee and chocolate. Taste is day old coffee, roasted malt and a bit of sugar. Lingering roasted coffee finish, having a lighter body for the style. Moderately dry finish. About average.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, thick, airy white head. Aroma brings a faint whiff of orange, citrus zest. Taste is light, citrusy, fruity. Very subtle flavors makes it go down easy. Nice

Can from Total Wine in Vacaville, CA. Pours very hazy gold with a huge frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, melon and pineapple or passion fruit. Med plus body. Juicy, lightly sweet. Yet it's bitter enough to please. Flavor is citrus, earth, pineapple and melon. A touch of astringency adds to the mix. It's pretty darn good flavor.

Aromas are slightly old resin hops with some grapefruit. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly more sweet than bitter with decent carbonation. Good body and finish on the sweet side. A little bit of MJ in there also. Okay but nothing special.

Pours murky gold into a tulip. White soapy head with good retention pancakes as it recedes. Mango, apricot and tangerine aromas. Soft with sweet guava, papaya, apricot and mango upfront turning to tangerine in dry, medium length finish.
