Had this at Toronado. Chestnut brown, thick head. Big barrel, soft fruitiness, lots of tannins but the armangnac / cognac character shows through. Burly and refined at the same time.

Pours clear ruby red with a lasting off white to light tan head. Toasted caramel malt m, citrus, and hop resin aroma. Flavor is malty and moderately bitter. There’s toasted caramel, citrus, and piney hops. Full bodied. Very good.

Can shared. Opaque pitch black color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roast, sweetness, vanilla, very boozy, burning alcohol in the finish. Decent but too heavy for me. 8-7,5-7-6-6,5

0.355l can. Aroma of mango, strawberry, melon and honey. Pours cloudy amber color with thin soapy tan-like head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet melon, honey and caramel, following is bready, and grassy, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic, while finish is average bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Definitely no rush needed for drinking this dangerous TIPA…

Can off the interweb, probably beer merchants. It pours oily jet black with a brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malts, bitter - sweet, huge vanilla and toasted coconut, chocolate gateaux, bounty bar, rocky road, gooey toasted marshmallows, rich bourbon vibes, dark roast espresso and a touch of charcoal. The taste is slick, oily, rich roasted maltage, mouth- costing, dark, decadent, rich coffee character, toffee, espresso with 3 sugars, bourbon soaked oak, warming booze, vanilla, toasted coconut, bounty bar, malt loaf, liquorice allsorts, rocky road, sugared plums, dried fruits, charred oak and pleasing warmth with a slick, bitter - sweet finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and velvety mouth feel. Full of flavour and strikes a nice balance. This guy are he master of big high abv filth.

Can. Pours clear mahogany, medium beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is cherries, bourbon, vanilla, toffee, dark sugars. Flavor is medium plus sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. This is a good beer, but it manages to be worse than either of its two components. Stupid cherries.
