Can from Stacks. Cloudy yellow, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of dank onion, cheese, papaya, mango, sweat, lychee, citrus zest, gin. Taste has sweet mango & papaya, bitter citrus peel and dank, slightly herbal onion in a doughy, white-bready malt body. Floral & herbal hops in the finish, extending that juicy yet dank tropical fruit profile, with a dash of warming gin-like alcohol. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Lovely blend of flavours.

Can from Stacks.
A: hazy orange, stable, frothy, white head.
A: overripe tangerine, peach, apricot, jam.
T: sweet-sourish tangerine, apricot, jam, biscuit.
F: tart citrus, bitter citrus pith, warming fruit liqueur-like alcohol.

Tastes infected and carbonation is way too fizzy. Bad batch somehow? Not what I expect from FrauGruber, unfortunately.

Can from Hopduvel. Cloudy black, small, foamy, beige head. Intense aroma of vanilla bean, cappuccino, chocolate sauce, bourbon, coffee cream, toasted almond, tonka, Irish coffee, crème brûlée. Taste has sweet milk chocolate, vanilla & cream, balanced by slightly bitter nuts, coffee bean & fondant; whiff of liquorice somehwere. Earthy hops in the finish, lots of coffee & cream with a hint of wood and warming bourbon alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Quite heavy and creamy, but all in all it's a collab that delivers!
