16oz can from Alesmith. Nose is toffee, rum, vanilla, and a hint of clove. Lightly hazy rusty-brown with a large tan head. Flavor has only light sweetness with some light tobacco notes I assume from the wood.

16oz can from my daughter. Nose is chocolate, toasted marshmallows, with cinnamon and nutmeg. Black with a small tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet and spicy. Decent flavor because it’s not sickening sweet.

12 oz bottle from Firestone online ( before they required a Brewmaster’s Collective membership this fall and lost at least a $1000 per year in purchases). Still great beer but I won’t buy near as much if I have to drive 2 hours to Paso Robles, so only an occasional purchase when I go to the coast)
