I really like drago when I had it awhile ago so seeing a variant I had to pick it up.
A: Poured pitch black with minimal head that dissipated quickly.
A: Big almond sweetness just dominates along with chocolate and bourbon heat.
T: Follows the nose with tons of almond, bourbon heat, and chocolate malt sweetness.
P: Lingers well with the boozy bourbon heat cutting through the sweetness some.
O: This is a liquid Almond Joy in a glass. Definitely need to get the other variants.

12 ounce can into a snifter. Canned 3/20/20, had 8/6/20.
Pours near black and mostly opaque, with a brief flash of a head and a few specks of cling. The aroma starts with a big blast of almond, then chocolate, some vanilla, light coconut and bourbon, some malt. The almond smells like flavoring- nice at first, not so much after repeated sniffs. Flavors of bourbon, still substantial almond, chocolate, some coconut, vanilla, roasted malt. The flavor is more palatable than the aroma. Smooth, a very good full body, well carbonated.
It has almond, no doubt. Actual or flavoring? Leans towards the latter. Still, a pretty good beer overall, the flavor is really good if you let it warm up. Could have used more coconut.

This is the bastard child of the Drago varients for 2020. I really enjoyed both Hazelnut and Mole variants. Hazelnut was as masterpiece. Mole was really well done.
So much Almond flavor that it was a drain pour. Just way over the top. It might settle down in a few year, but man that is so much almond. I really though this one would be a unique and enjoyable variant.
