355mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Nose has some rum barrel presence upfront, with gentle lactose and cocoa. Flavour has plenty of roasted malt, earthy hops, very gentle rum barrels—more woodiness, and cocoa. Reasonably hopped, moderate roast, just enough rum barrels. Very nice.

On tap at Tanner. Pours murky brown with a light beige head. Lots of dark chocolate on the nose. Flavour has dry dark chocolate, some very light esters in the background. Doesn't have as much of that yeast character I was expecting, so it's a nice, roasty beer.

473mL can. Pours murky dull brownish with a white head. Raisins, caramel, slightly estery yeast character, and lots of white wine grapes on the nose. Flavour has raisins, more of that earthy/estery yeast character, and plenty of sauvingon blanc grapes. The yeast is not what I'm used to, but the more I drink the more I appreciate the addition of the sauvignon blanc grapes. Very nicely done, great complexity.
