My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.18
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.1

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 21st November 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep dark purple colour with a one finger purple head that had excellent retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Lightly sweet and tart, blackcurrant, grape jelly, jammy, with notes of peanut butter and peanuts.
Taste: Sweet, tart, buttery, grape jelly, blackcurrant, jammy, and peanut butter.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Enjoyable flavours as peanut butter and jelly does work. The base is sweet, but not too sweet as the tartness and peanut butter notes balance it out. But is this still a Gose?

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 7th November 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep dark purple colour with a one and a half finger purple head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Taste: Sweet, lightly tart and sour, blackberry, maple, pancake, and vanilla.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Sweet but the light tartness mostly balanced that out. The booze in the aroma was not ideal, but I didn’t get it in the taste so that’s good.

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 24th October 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep dark purple colour with a two finger purple head that had excellent retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, lightly tart, mixed berries, maple, melted ice cream, and vanilla.
Taste: Sweet and tart, lightly sour, mixed berries, maple, pancake, and vanilla.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Sweet and dessert like, but the tartness was strong enough to balance this out. This was even more tart that the Blueberry Maple Pancake version and hence I preferred this more.

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 29th August 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep beetroot purple colour with a one and a half finger purple head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, blueberry skin, blueberries, maple, and vanilla.
Taste: Sweet with a light tartness, blueberry, maple, pancake, vanilla and slightly medicinal.
Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Normally I wouldn’t really be able to enjoy something as sweet as this, but the light tartness of the blueberries just brings this sweetness mostly under control. Combined with the slight berry medicinal character, and maple sweetness, it’s still on the verge of being too much, but I enjoy this beer in sips.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.79
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.7

Intro: A 330ml can, with a best before date of 23rd July 2020. Poured into a snifter glass.
Appearance: Black in colour with a one finger tanned head that dissipated fairly quickly and left some sparse spotty lacing.
Aroma: Milk chocolate, vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice, maybe its cinnamon.
Taste: Smoked milk chocolate, vanilla, oak, bourbon, leather, and a light chili spice on the throat.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Much better than Cherrbacca (which was released on the same day) in my opinion. Imperial Stouts with a splash of chili spice usually works for me, and continues to do so here. More roast and less pastry, and I’d probably like it even more.
