16oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet vanilla cream. Taste is more of the nice sweet vanilla cream and some grain.

Short pour @Hudl. Dark, clear, russet amber, sexy. Nose is mostly burnt brown sugar. Starchy, rich, sharp. Molasses, Lipton tea, light lemon, grass, maple, bitter melon rind. Blend of old & new. Rich, low carb, pedestrian. Decent.

Dull gold, slightly hazed, like ng lasting lace. Tropical rum & pineapple, all barely, rum scent. Crazy boozy. Tastes like really good & fruity rum over melted down ice. It's bittersweet, leaning bitter. Tropical, earthy, delicious. Seriously fruitcake or macerated fruit before it gets baked. I've made my share of Alton Brown's recipe. I can almost pick out the vanilla from the OG batch, but can't. Hard, rounded sharpness, leftover sugars, numbness. Can't believe this is 7%. Best beer/rum infusion ever.

Side by side short pour with the rum barrel vanilla. Clear, straight amber, static unmovable head. Smell is Nilla wafers, soft artificial vanilla, still inviting. Taste is melted down Nilla wafers & some cracker, pinch of vodka. Thin, ever slightly acidic, lacking froth, modest but noticable abv. Interesting from a nostalgic perspective.

On tap @Hudl. Soapy, somewhat hazy, small bit of lingering lace. Mellow pine, citrus soda, faded hops. Soapy, called it. Syrupy, pineapple & menthol, hit of line, medicinal. Trash. Thick, low carb, doesn't feel fresh. I thought I escaped paying for bad beer years ago.

Short pour @Hudl. Mostly black with brown highlights. Very little, oily off white head. Hazelnut or there abouts-flavored coffee nose, soft but artificial. Watery milk stout sweetness. Taste is a mix of mellow artificial pumpkin & spice, with a good Japanese canned coffee backdrop. Semi-sweet, burnt milk, ash, soft bittergreen finish. Acidic, medium carb, moderate abv. Too thin to be as sweet as it is. Okay.

On tap @Hudl. Short pour. Rich, clear, dark gold, no head. Smells of faint fake green apple candy, corn & ugly grain. Taste genuinely apple. Tart, with a faint fake-plastic-natural flavor-candy-essence. Lemon. Corn sweetness. Cheap grain lingers middle to end. Tart, sharp acidity, full carbonation. Another pass.

On tap @Hudle. Short pour. Clear, deep gold, lacey. Smell is very slight iodine, veg, a whiff of green/unripe fruit. Taste is a faint guava & seriously hop-lacking pale ale. White bread crust, faint acidity. Barely a trail of pith. Just seriously lacking. Frothy, weak, mellow abv. Embarrassing.

Shorties @Hudl. Clear, slightly dull gold, Linda frothy. Hard mineral nose. Taste is cracker meal, soft white bread sweetness, surprising acidity. Rounded finish. Lacking bite. No serious faults though. Crispy, acidic, average abv. Okay.

On tap @Hudl. Love me a pepper beer. Half pint. Clear, bright gold brew, nice lace. Green chili & corn scent. Mellow & lingering green chili flavor, just a prick of heat. Mineral water, cheap beer, soap. Frothy, thin, low abv, needs to be cold. Needed some bite. Meh.
