16-ounce can purchased at Belmont Station in Portland, OR. Date Stamp reads "09/25/2025". Enjoyed in a nonic half-pint glass.
Look:
Clear red-brown body with garnet highlights and a short-lived head of creamy caramel brown foam. The lingering collar leaves terrific lacing.
Smell:
The nose is malted milk balls and chocolate milk on a foundation of toasted grain, along with notes of baking chocolate and caramel cream.
Taste:
The flavor starts off a lot like the chocolate milk left over at the bottom of a bowl of Cocoa Puffs. (Note: I haven't had a bowl of Cocoa Puffs in probably 30 years, so my memory of the flavor is based on intel that's decades old.) The follow-through jumps around a bit: roasted malt, rye toast, Hershey's syrup, dry grass, a hint of...dill?, a growing bitterness, and a mild acrid note. Things settle down in the finish, which offers a really smooth and mellow coffee flavor. A small plasticky alcohol note mars the finish a bit.
Feel:
Medium-bodied with a wooly texture and gruff carbonation.
Overall:
It's an alright stout which delivers a goodly amount of chocolate. It starts well and ends well. In between, it goes just a little haywire, with a mixed bag of flavors that don't play well with each other.
