Friend of mine gave me a 16 oz can on 2-28-22 at our weekly poker game. Drank straight from the can.
I was surprised at the legitimacy of the yeast used as the phenolic flavors were procured nicely by the brewer. I was a little concerned the chocolate adjunct would overwhelm the yeast qualities, but it complemented pretty well. Don't expect a classic Belgian brown but you will get a pretty good beer if you decide to buy!

16oz can poured into a tulip.
Pours an amber with solid clarity and transparency; small off-white that fades leaving decent retention and lacing.
The aromas have banana and bubblegum. Yeasts and malts are there.
The flavors basically follow the nose. More banana and bubblegum. The chocolate comes through. Subtle caramel notes. Some dark fruits. Subtle spice. Subtle sweetness. Low bitterness. Yeasts and malts do their thing. Alcohol basically goes unnoticed for the most part.
Mouthfeel is full-bodied with moderate to active carbonation. It's sharp, fluffy and smooth.
This is a solid brew. It might not be as elite as some Belgian beers from overseas, but it's still nice for what it is. Solid aromas and flavors. It's simply enjoyable stuff.
