0.473l can. Aroma of stone fruit, mango and biscuit. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with juicy melon and stone fruit with strawberry note, following is toasted, floral and grassy, mouthfeel is rather dry, while finish is pretty bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Worth a road trip...

Taster at Open Door. My small sample did not have much fizz to it, though neither did the Pick #31 I sampled, then went for a full glass. This had a bit stronger hard liquor nose to it when compared together.
A little thinner then most syrupy BBA stouts. Noticeably more whiskey "bite."

Small draft at Open Door. Very whiskey-y nose. Black, coats the glass like Robitussin. Taste is a lovely mixed whiskey drink, with notes of sweet cherry.
Did not get much effervescence when they poured me a taste, but it was there for the full pour.

Aroma has notes of orange peel, grain, biscuity malt. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness backed by significant malt sweetness. Solid.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour with a lasting beige foamy head. Roasty aroma, nutty, burned toast. Taste brings light roast up front with enough sweetness to temper the bitterness. Some bitterness remains and lingers all the way through to the end. Smooth, silky
