375ml can. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Roasty, minimally spicy and chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of roast, dark cocoa, a touch of coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice. Taste is roasty, chocolately, minimally ashy, smoky, dark malty and slightly caramel malty with subtle residual sweetness, slightly resinous and mildly bitter, hoppy, notes of roast, coffee, dark cocoa, hints of burnt coffee, burnt caramel, a touch of liquorice.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well hopped, fairly meaty, some nice "dirty" (smoky, ashy) features - good.

375ml can. Cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Rather cautious, minimally perfumed, fruity, minimally piney, hoppy aroma without overly explicit fruit flavours, hints of melon, pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, lychee, minimally spicy, pale malty background with a touch of cracker, minimally zesty and even waxy overtones. Taste is bitter, fruity hoppy and slightly piney hoppy, pale malty basis with some residual sweetness, notes of yellow stone fruit, some mandarine, grapefruit, orange, melon, lychee, again not overly distinct nor explicit, rather interwoven, amalgamated, but way more intense fruit flavours; a dank, resinous basic layer throughout, lingering, bitter, leafy, zesty, hoppy finish with slow decrease of fruitiness.
Oily texture, dry, also slightly greasy palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
A carpet of interwoven, rather undistinct, fruity hop flavours, dank, resinous framework, intense taste, relatively cautious nose, a bit of a hodge-podge - pretty decent.

The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter and sweet, with a smooth, rich, toffee caramel, dry, oaky, light peaty, earthy, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

(Can) Pours black with small tan head. Great aroma with roast grain and chocolate and hint of dried fruit and port. Full bodied, smooth, creamy with fine carbonation giving great mouthfeel. Great taste too. Starts with a nice balance between sweet and bitter and transitions to a much more bitter finish. The sweetness is dark malt with nice chocolate notes. The building bitterness has strong black coffee similarities. The booze is well hidden, with a little burn at the end.

Can. Very dark brown with a 3/2 cm light tan head. Aroma is roasty with brioche, oak, dark sugars, chocolate. Silky texture. Lots of chocolate and brioche, underpinned by firm roast. Rummy notes are mild, oak helps close off the sweetness at the end. Then eventually bitterness breaks through. Much better than the Bourbon BA, almost as good as the non BA version.
