16 oz can. Aroma has notes of chocolate malt balls, dark bread. Pours dark brown with a one finger beige head with good retention, settling into a skiff of foam eventually. Taste is sweet and roasty with some mild bitterness around the edges, finishing dry.

16 oz can. Aroma is lightly smoky, roasty, wet stone, caramel, nutty. Pours dark brown to black with a half finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is bittersweet and lightly to moderately smoky with flavors like the aroma. Finishes dry. Mouthfeel is creamy/velvety. Excellent.

16oz can from Tavour. Mahogany pour, thin but sturdy creamy beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate, sweet and mildly bitter. Taste adds some faint coffee notes, chocolate, coffee, burnt toast. Creamy feel with light lingering bitterness. Divine!

Aromas are onion, lemon and malt. Flavors are similar to nose. Fairly dry and a bit medicinal upfront with good body and okay carbonation. Slightly bittersweet in the finish.

Don't know how these guys always get such a wonderfully funky, interesting yeast character to their beers, but even with (assumedly) a classic hefe yeast, it still smells of cellar funk, mineral and light earth, rather than a bunch of gross clove and bubble gum. The weisse yeast is there, of course, with mostly a peppery phenol and very light bubble gum on the end. Soft wheat/spelt keeps it from being too acidic or intense, it seems. Light honey and white bread, as well.
Fruity and wheaty with a soft blandness and lots of breadiness. Fairly prominent bubble gum and white pepper, though no harsh clove. A bit of a letdown from how noble the aroma seemed, but there's certainly nothing wrong/off/poorly-brewed here; it just feels very traditional hefe and thus quite unexciting. Not getting much deep texture or nuttiness from the spelt.

Oh damn....that's...that's just sublime. HUGE mineral with just an ever-so-slight touch of sulfur mixing with funky, berry and spice from the hop. Man, Comet is such a fantastic hop; it's crazy it's not used more widely. There's an afterthought of pineapple essence, perhaps from the Strata, but it looks like they took it easy on that. Just mineral for days with honey-laced cracker-like malts in support.
Lives up to the nose with a flawless blend of rich, honey-like malt that dries out on the finish with light cracker/biscuit. Crisp and well-bittered but not too much so, with mild spice, but no real herb, which is impressive. Yellow fruits and lingering mineral. Incredibly well-balanced at this point (looks like it was just a bit sharp when young) and, it seems to go without saying from Bizarre, an absolute ton of flavor for its size.
These guys really need to get together with Schilling....
gave a cheers!

The can lost pressure in transit from Tavour (but the leak must have been on the top, as no liquid leaked). No sound upon opening it, but to my delight, the beer is still amply, amply carbonated. That would absolutely not have happened if this wasn't spunded.
Chocolatey-earthy-fruity goodness shows tastefully low roasted character with a good milk chocolate-like character and fruity, English yeast. An afterthought of grassy hops and quite clean and polished overall.
Soft and malty with rich, varied flavors from nuts to toast to chocolate and even a bit of licorice and marzipan. Fruity yeast, but it's neither overroasted nor a glass full of raisin/fig/prune. Every bit as much deep malt texture as you'd like, with a pleasing sweetness, then drying out with cocoa, grassy hop bitterness and a mix of toast and dark chocolate. Never gets too sweet or acidic. Superb balance and incredible drinkability as usual, from Bizarre.

16oz can from Tavour. Very pale golden pour, clear, film of fine white bubbles. Aroma is a light, smoky, ashy character. Taste is smoky, bacon, mild sweetness, bready. Really enjoyable.

Dullish straw, nice smoky nose. Medium body, medium smoke, light acidity. Some huskiness, gloppy malts. Still, a grod is always nice.
