A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, light brown head.
A- Roasty, cocoa, earthy, burnt coffee.
F- Roasty, slightly vegetal, earthy, dry, cocoa.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.
O- Been a want list beer of mine for some time but it didn't live up to the hype. Maybe 10 years ago, but now not so much. It needed more smoke and more coffee. Maybe the imperial version would be better. Not bad but not worth getting excited for.

T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly tangy finish.
O- Not great. For Crooked Stave I expected more. This was light in aroma and flavor. Just some plain lime juice and cucumber skin flavors. Actually got better as it warmed. Meh.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, minimal brown head.
A- Chocolate sauce, toasted coconut, ginger.
F- Coconut, chocolate, sweet, light ginger.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.
O- Lots of chocolate dipped coconut candies. I honestly never get tired of BCBS and they always seem to meet expectations. A bit sweet but nice. This one had a year of age on it. Flavors were great.

A- Smoke, cocoa, roasty.
F- Smoke, char, cocoa.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smoky finish.
O- The smoke was definitely more forward that I expected. More like a rauch than a stout, in fact, I wanted a stout that had a hint of smoke. The abv needs jacked up on this one. Decent.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, brown head.
A- Oak, whisky, chocolate.
F- Oak, booze, green apple.
T- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.
O- Afraid this was infected and a bad bottle. Wonder if Tavour had any idea or others got bad bottles. Maybe it was the age or storage, not sure, but not getting all the great notes others seem to taste which is a massive bummer considering the price. But not totally undrinkable.

A- Copper color, clear liquid, off white head.
A- Faint smoke, malt, wood.
F- Smoked malt, beechwood, toasted grains, faint umami.
T- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish.
O- Stays composed even as it got warm. Delicious. A nice smoked malt flavor that never turns into a ham brine flavor or campfire. Well balanced. I could drink a gallon of this. As good as any rauch I've tried and one of my favorite styles. This for whatever reason hit just right. A Top 20 beer for me for sure.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, minimal brown head.
A- Cinnamon, cocoa.
F- Saigon cinnamon, faint spicy, mild roast, cocoa.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- This was 3 years old from 2022. Well balanced and blended nicely. The coffee was definitely weakened at this point which was a bummer but the cinnamon was the star in a positive way. Delicious enough I drank the full bomber alone before I knew it. Drinks like it's 5% but I'd ike to try again fresh.

A- Black color, opaque liquid, brown head.
A- Maple, pancake batter.
F- Maple syrup, pancakes, coffee liquer, slightly sweet.
T- Medium body, slightly thick texture, average carbonation, slightly sweet finish.
O- Wow, I love maple and always buy maple beers and they usually let me down as the flavor is not there and it just adds a general sweetness. Not this one. Loads of real maple and a solid pancake batter flavor. The coffee tastes like Mr Black espresso liqueur adding a touch of alcohol behind the sweetness. This was super good but about 8 oz is really enough in one sitting as much as I did enjoy the full can.
