Can. Poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a decent sized, medium white head. Aroma was light tartness, grain. Flavor was a bit on the light side, as expected, but the beer was really nicely hopped, with some very light tartness.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of bourbon barrels, molasses, brown sugar, and cocoa in good cohesion. Flavour has plenty of brown sugar and cocoa upfront, with some bourbon barrels and molasses. Nice malt depth and good barrel-aging. Not amazing but it's good stuff.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma has lots of juicy stone fruits, melon, some sweetness, and a touch of oniony hops. Flavour is moderately juicy, with moderate hopburn, some allium, and stone fruit pith. Not too chalky, it has a nice juiciness, but too much onion. Okay hazy.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 22/10/24; thanks Sammy). Hazy yellow with minimal white. Juicy citrus, some stone fruit in the background, okay, not bangin'.

473mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of habanero, vanilla, a touch of cinnamon, and gentle cocoa. Flavour is very chocolatey, with plenty of vanilla, cocoa, some cinnamon, and habanero. The habaneros add a nice subtle spiciness, but more of the pepper, but has plenty of chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. There's a bit of vegetal character from the habanero, but it's not too detracting. Good stuff.

Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with small beige head. Chocolate, cinnamon, feint habanero and vanilla, the rosita de cacao gives it an interesting slightly herbal note. Decent, balanced, could have a touch more body.
