Bought with real anticipation; I like it when Struise get creative.
Nose: Powerful malt, resin, honey, nuts, resin, sugars, fruit cake. Taste is resin, leading to caramel, nuts, resin, fruit cake, absurdly heavy booze note, touch of mango, and grapefruit, faint hint of cherry and sweet notes with huge spice.
Exceptional hire wire act.

Can. Nose is resin, pine, melon, grape. Taste is bitter, grapefruit, lemon rind, vodka, alcohol, metallic.
Absolutely atrocious.
Edit: looking at the other reviews I must have a bad can.

Startled to discover this in a can in a British supermarket, albeit at a lower strength.
Nose is much more muted than my distant memory of the original beer: dark chocolate, black filter coffee, earth malt. Taste is bitter coffee, leading to dark chocolate, hints of milk and vanilla, with a dry chocolate and latte finish.
It's a slick mouthfeel.

Bottle. Nose is rich chocolate gateaux, bourbon, almonds, dark chocolate, cherry, marzipan, hint of salt and soy.
Taste it rich chocolate leading to licorice, quality drinking chocolate, hints of vanilla, spice, touch of salt, the the bourbon cuts through the sweetness, coconut ,dark chocolate, faintest hints of roast.
The body is extraordinary, like drinking a pillow.
