22 oz. bottle from Costco in Charlotte, NC. Pours a pitch black color with a small beige head and fair retention. Surprisingly little lacing. Bourbon barrel aroma. The taste is similar to the aroma, with bourbon notes up front with some dark roasted and bitter dark chocolate notes in the finish. Strong alcohol, but it’s not as boozy as I expected for 12% ABV. Smooth. I don't taste the coffee flavor, and that's okay. Medium+ body. Low carbonation. Moderate bitterness. Too strong overall for me, but a decent sipper.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a large dark tan head and good retention. Very little lacing. Powdered peanut butter aroma. The flavor is a balanced mix of peanut butter and dark chocolate notes with a very slight boozy finish. Neither flavor overwhelms the other. Not as sweet as I expected. And I'm not tasting any vanilla notes. Medium body. A little thin for the style. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. And the 7.6% ABV is generally well hidden. An enjoyable beer.

16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a cloudy gold color with a tight, fine white head and very good retention. Good lacing. Yeasty aroma, as expected. The taste follows the nose, with yeast notes leading the way with some light esters in the finish. Like most good German hefeweizen beers, the yeast flavor isn't too strong and overbearing. Very smooth and clean. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Not bitter. Good example of the style.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy applesauce color with a large off-white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Aroma of pale malt about to go bad? Soft pale malt flavor up front, with some pilsner malt in the finish. Kind of bland, yet harmless. Medium-light body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. Okay, but it doesn't taste fresh.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a hazy gold color with a large off-white head and great retention. Great lacing. Lots of streaming carbonation. Off-smelling malt aroma. Is that agave? The taste is similar to the aroma, with the same strange flavor mixing with the pale malts. Old can? It says it was canned on 3/27/23! Thanks for nothing, Total Wine! I'm sure it's better when it's fresh. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter. Not fresh.

500ml can from Total Wine. Pours a clear light gold color with a bright white head and great retention. Very good lacing. Pale malt and light bread aroma. The taste follows the nose: Lightly sweet pale malt flavor with some light bread notes in the finish. Super smooth and clean. Really refreshing. Medium body. Medium-high carbonation. Low bitterness. Great beer. Uber repeatable. Prost!

330ml bottle from a shop in Grasmere, England. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a white head and good retention. Sparse lacing. Very bready aroma. Smooth and clean white bread and malt flavor. Very good flavor for such a light beer. Light body. Medium-light carbonation. Not bitter. Well done.
