Pour is a black with a large bone white head. Aroma is dark fruits some sugar and a bit of tobacco. Flavor is more dark fruit with some anise and it has a dry sweet leathery finish. A thicker mouthfeel than the usual Belgian dark. Needs a bit more carbonation is about the only knock on this one. Super flavorful and I think this is $7 a bottle.

12oz can. Hefty, full bodied Amber of the past. Quite a solid brew, the Tettang is a nice touch. Straightforward by 2025 standards. Offers balance and depth, more than most beer can these days. Good.

750 c&c from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Loud cork pop. No overflow. Pours very dark brown with a large tan head that laced down slowly. Aroma is fruity plummy. Med body or so. Slightly sweet and bitter enough for balance. The flavor is very good, tho I wonder if it's not quite as fruity as the Canadian versions.
