Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear gold with a huge foamy white head. Aroma suggests pineapple upside down cake. Fairly fullish body. But it thins quickly as the carbonation leaves. Dry and pineapple bitter. Light toffee/caramel in support. Interesting.
0,473 litre Can, from Kihoskh, Copenhagen, at home. Almost Black with brown head. Roasted Malts, marshmallow, cinnamon, vanilla, Chocolate, sweetness.

Poured up on tap at tipsy where it exhibits an opaque murky deep brown amber colored body that supports no real head at all. The aroma offers up kettle caramelization tempered by malts and a boozy sense of the Heaven Hills barrel treatment. The taste delivers similar character with smooth sweet malts enhanced by a near candy like kettle caramelization reduced sugars sensation and thin sweet dark fruity esters. To midway the booziness surges forward with Heaven Hills spirit, boozy bite and a slightly off putting red wine note. This faint tartness might be something else as it's timid enough to evade any sort of additional flavor confirmation. Fun sipper.

09/01/19 Can from Astoria Bier & Cheese. Mojito glass. Thick, dark yellow to orange, an almost fresh cider color. Fleeting spot of yellowed head. Smells of light lime, baked pie crust & a hit of zest. Taste is a yeasty, malty mass that is only vaguely lime-ish, & little else noticable. Actually threw an ice cube in to thin it out enough to enjoy somewhat, but that barely helped.
