A fortunate acquisition at the local (and only) craft beer store in the area, Kokytus came in 2 pack of 12 oz cans put into a stacked box. The label on this can says the brewing was on 2/7/19 and the abv to be 14.4%, I can't dispute either. I use my Great Heights tulip glass for this tasting. The pour is jet black, quite viscous and almost no head. I lift up for a smell, heavily chocolate, vanilla and alfalfa. Now with a drink. Geez, this is really fine. Dark chocolate of course, multi-grain bread, black plum, fudge, a hard candy sweetness and a definite indication of the barrel aging. Something of a burn with each sip. A very good offering from a Texas brewery.

Tap at Craft Pride, Austin, Texas, 9th December 19. Pours a brown red and clear. Aroma is musty barrel and raspberry. Taste is raspberry, musty, barrel, wet wood and funk, a fruity berry finish, tart and sweet. Very good and drinks below the 10 %

355ml can. What is this I don't even. Pure sour pickle juice and saltiness, hints of beer. Quite bizarre.

12 oz can from Tavour, 11/1/19. Pours a dark brown with a brown head. Aroma of peanut butter and roast. Taste is along the same lines. Sweet malt, some roast, chocolate, and a little peanut butter. Tasty, sweet, and enjoyable. Pairs nicely with the a Reese's cups that I grabbed out of my daughter's Halloween candy. 7/4/8/3/16
Damn impressively thick and salty... That's what she said? Don't get much blood orange and I consider that a good thing! Sometimes gets very tart very fast. Slightly fruity gose with great mouthfeel and hints of oranges.

12 oz can purchased in Austin, TX. Pours a cloudy copper color with a HUGE khaki head and annoyingly excellent retention. Good lacing. Caramelized aroma. Toasted caramel flavor. Tastes like a toasted amber lager. Lightly sweet, not bitter. Simple profile. Clean. Tasty.
Tons of cinnamon milkiness, impressive cream ale. nose is accurate horchata, I think, been a while!

Quite possibly the worst description of a beer ever. Tap. Pours hazy mahogany, small tan head, good lacing. Aroma is botanical indeed. Jagermeister, cocoa, anise, jenever, leather. Flavor ia medium sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body, low carbonation. Not within a million miles of an altbier.

Can from Tavour. Medium amber pour with small patchy head. Big pine, resinous aroma. Taste comes in like a shock to the palate (especially after some hazies). Malty and hoppy, followed by some burn. This beer is huuuuge....was expecting some gentle IPA, didn't notice the 12% ABV. Still great though...
