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.

Canned 8/11/25, drunk 10/23/25.
As pictured.
Pretty darned nicely balanced ....gently spicy, lightly fruity hops and classic yeast with light mineral and a good mix of base malt adding moderate honey-like notes in concert with very light toast and round, fruity toffee.
Rich and malty up front with peanuts, salt, mild, peppery bitterness, light vanilla and lingering, gooey brown bread. Hmmm, maybe a bit on the sweet side but man did they get their money's worth on the malt. Complex and near syrupy, it almost doesn't taste sparged. Bitterness from hop with lightly earthy, drying yeast helps add back balance. Very nice stuff. Love the complexity. A bit more attenuation and this would be world class stuff.

So so, quite citrusy, some sweet pale bread, jammy tangerine, oily orange peel. A little warmth. Novelty.

12oz can. Straightforward, easy drinking lager. Not a lot of malt or hop depth. Pretty much a more quality version of macro beer. Very drinkable, simple.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Dark brown pour. Foamy tan head settles to a small ring. Aromas of dark malt, whiskey, toffee, oak, rye, dark cherries and vanilla. Wow, first sip is intensely flavorful. A big dose of booziness is followed by complex notes of dark cherries, vanilla, brown sugar, whiskey, oak and Kirschwasser. Simply amazing. As the brew warms, the depth and complexity expand.
