12oz can stamped BATCH #021 poured into a Spiegelau stout glass at just above fridge temp 13% ABV. The beer pours impenetrable black with abundant medium brown colored head. The head recedes to a thin cap and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is mild with molasses and dark sugar. The taste follows with bittersweet molasses, dark chocolate and roasty miderate bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium plus bodied with a little less than medium carbonation and a mostly dry finish. No sign of the ABV in the taste or aroma. Overall, very good. The range of flavors is limited and focused mostly on molasses, but it's done very well.

I’m mot a beer expert, by any means. Heck I love hamms light. So what do I know? This beer is pretty good. It is potent. Strong molasses flavor. Reminds me of one of those cookies. Very easy to drink though. These were gifted to me, so I’m not sure the cost, but I would certainly drink it again, if reasonably priced. Gorgeous to look at.

A: The beer is jet black in color. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that left a collar around the edge of the glass, a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface, and lots of specks of bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of dark malts and licorice are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of burnt malts and molasses, although the latter doesn't have any associated sweetness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The body of this beer was a bit thinner than what I would have expected for a 13% abv stout. With all of the toasty and burnt flavors, it seemed like it was a hybrid between an American Imperial Stout and a Russian Imperial Stout.

Little bit of plum and cherries and booze on nose. Chocolate and fig on palate. Sweet roasty finish.

Purchased a single from a local shop for $2.99, Pours very dark and very thick. Does a great job hiding the high ABV and has strong coffee and chocolate notes. A very delicious and excellent stout and great overall value. Would definitely seek this out again.

Can at Las Buenas Pulgas, served in an snifter glass. Black color, small beige head with short retention, small creamy lacing. Aroma of can, smokey, cola, coffee, dried fruits,. Full body, creamy texture, good carbonation. Dry finish. Taste is metalic, smokey, coffee, dried fruits, chocolate. Bottle will always be better.

Ridiculously gorgeous deep color. Nice head.
Extremely smooth feel. Very very nice blend of many different flavors going on. Not much scent to my nose. Alcohol is present but not overwhelming.

Excellent beer for this style. Not cheap, but worth it.

Edit: I have bought this pack more than once, proof of it's overall excellence.
