I'm a RateBeer refugee that has come to Brewver to continue my craft beer journey. Have been rating beers since the late 70’s (before it was called craft beer and before the internet). Always on a quest for new breweries and beers. I used to be obsessed with building my ratings numbers, but now, I’m really into quality, not quantity. I love all styles and types of craft beer. I've tasted beers from more than 1,600 different breweries including every state in the US and 86 different countries.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Jet black pour. Frothy tan head. Aromas of dark roasted malt, mocha and vanilla bean. First sip yields notes of bittersweet chocolate, warming alcohol in middle, vanilla and espresso. Rich and luxurious. Notes of bourbon and oak appear as the brew warms. This is a big, brash brew with tons of flavor and complexity.
