Bottle from Stacks. Cloudy black, no head. Aroma of chocolate sauce, dark fudge, brown sugar, dried banana, pear, vanilla, rum. Taste has sweet banana, pear & date in a dark-chocolatey, brown-sugary, vanilla-ish malt body with some phenolic notes. Soft herbal hops in the finish, very chocolatey (pralines with liqueur), warming liqueur- & rum-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Sharp rum is present but not too boozy. Good.

T: sweetish mango, sourish passion- & dragon fruit, pomegrenate, jam-like maltiness.

Gimmicky, but better than your average 'fruit juice contender'.

Can from Stacks. Hazy yellow, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of papaya, pine, starfruit, grape, dough, scallion. Taste has sweetish papaya & pineapple, spicy pepper & scallion in a doughy malt body. Floral & peppery hops in the finish, lingering juicy stone fruit, spicy pine, scallion, onion. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Quite a spicy hoppiness but managing to remain balanced. Good.
