Can. Too young for the original.

Nose is tangerine, citrus, ripe mango. Pleasent. Taste follows, with light mango, hints of tangerine, malt, and a lightly bitter finish. It's solid and better than I'd assumed given the infamous brand name.

Can. Nose is coffee, very nutty almost meaty. Taste is coffee, roast, nuts, slightly fruity, hint of dark chocolate, touch of fruit, touch of spice.

Very nice.

Nose is sweet, fruity esters, strawberry. Taste is initially bitter with a metalic note, leading to sweet, summer fruits, pear drops, strawberry, foam sweets, candy sugar, almond hint of the whiskey . Mouthfeel is thin.

This tastes bafflingly of soft squish strawberry sweets. Its complex in that there's a lot going on, but the sweet taste is not for me.

Can given as a gift. Nose is pot purrie, candle, air freshener, some crumble. Taste is light sour, some fruit, then car air freshener.

Without any doubt this is the worst beer I've ever drunk that wasn't off. Offensively despicable, I managed a two sips and a full can down the sink. Vault city generally make over flavoured unbalanced beers, but this is abominable.

Nose is huge. Peat, whiskey, soy, alcohol, chocolate. Taste is soy, big whiskey, peaty, leading to rich chocolate, more whiskey, a rich dark chocolate, hint of strawberry and vanilla in the boozy finish.

Absolutely superb,
