-- Keg at Livs, Stockholm. -- Pitch black, small beige head. Aroma of licorice and bourbony oak. Dry with medium to full body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Licorice and coffee, vanilla sake and bourbon. Peppery warming finish. Beautifully dry and elegant. Totally the opposite to what I've come to expert from Floridian stouts. I love it!

Capped 750 from Tavour. Pours dark mahogany with a large foamy beige/tan head. Aroma of cherry and dark fruits over semi-roasty/med dark caramel malt. Arguably full bodied. Flavor is cherry, plum, malt with a touch of light spice (might be the hop?). Not dry, but not sticky. Heat is a flavor adjunct. Not at all annoying. Bitter enough to tamp down the malt. Very good flavor.

16oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice big passion fruit guava and some tartness. Taste is more of the nice passion guava some candy sweetness and a tart kick to balance it out.

750ml bottle a gift from my daughter and son in law from Tavour. Nose is spicy with cinnamon, cloves, brown sugar, and golden raisins. Murky dark brown with a bigger, heavy lacing tan head. Flavor is sweet, fruity candi sugar, with lots of spices.

Capped 750 from Tavour. Pours very dark mahogany (against a strong LED lamp) with a large, but transient, beige/tan head. Aroma of dark roasty malt and dark fruit. Hints of Xmas spices. Full bodied (firm carbonation helping this). Flavor is Xmas spices, nutmeg in the lead, with dark malt and fruit. Aspects of Kandi. There's a lot of flavor in this - spiced Belgian dubbel. Likin it a lot.

Perfectly clear golden and light peach coloured body with a very thin, off-white head that fades very quickly and only starts off a centimetre tall. Aroma of tons of guava, mangoes, full oranges and a dash of grapefruit along with some very mellow malt and wheat notes and a touch of the yeast and breadiness - but the fruits dominate. Light-bodied; Deep robust mango, melon, guava, orange and lightly pineappley flavours show through with more fruit than anything else and not really a supportive malt note, but some wheat noticeable along with a dry dose of yeast. Aftertaste shows the pungent fruit and dry qualities with a light herbal and grassy finish, but the oranges, grapefruit, guava and especially mango notes show through everything. Overall, a deep and strong beer with way more fruit and dry notes than anything else, but there is some surprising complexity given the low alcohol content and simplistic nature, but nice to sample and recommended, especially if you can find this, since i'm not sure how far away any of their beers would travel. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,84 sampled at home in Washington after subscribing to Disney+ and missing out on a trip to Orlando for Spring Break on 27-March-2020.
