Batch 3 Can at home in the garden from J and B Craft Drinks, 26th July 24, this was canned end of May 24. Pours off clear and golden orange, minimal head. Aroma is candied oranges, pith, pine resin. Taste is super punchy, big resinous pine, pithy grapefruit and orange rind, and a long bittersweet and pithy bitter finish, with linger that goes on and on, delicious Edit for Batch 4 - canned 29th August 24, consumed 22nd November 24, from J and B Craft Drinks, aroma is pine and pith, dank, resinous. Taste is bitter, earthy and dank, some booze, lots of bittersweet and pithy notes, intense and a privilege, maybe Batch 3 had the edge though

Multiple cans to glass (yes, I pour it in a glass after taking the first sip from the can) over the years. Pours hazy yellow with full white head that lingers well. Overt topical and citrus fruit jumps out of glass on aroma. Flavor is similar with velvety mouthcoating. Sweet malt in support. Great beer.

Can, 2024, drunk 6/30/24. Probably clear, dark. Small, tan head to ring quickly. Tawny Port leading the way with sweet raisin and good chocolatey malt. Some drier whiskey and raisin again. Not boozey. Sweet, malty, chewy, fudgey with smoke and char, lots of brandy and light vanilla. Not boozey. If anything, a bit sweet, the port sort of exacerbating that.

16 oz. Can shared by ClarkVV. Thank you! Aroma has a jammy port barrel hint, roast. Flavor has soft rue barrel with the jammy Port character. Roasted malt is tamed by the barrel aging. A nice range of flavors. Quite good!

Thanks Clark, sweet tawny port with lots of sweetness that lingers. It's good but borders over sweet.

16 ounce can from brewery. Hazy yellow gold color. Large pillowy white head. Aroma of yeasty bread, cut grass and lemon peel. Flavor follows nose. Hay, lemon, rustic bread and a bit of mild funk. Quite peppery on back end. Truly refreshing.
