Pretty good stout. Not the best, but I’d buy again.

It’s pretty good. I don’t taste the milk, like you do with Duck Rabbit. Nor does it have a huge chocolate flavor. I find it tangy.

16oz can served in a big snifter. Bottom of the can is stamped 28021, which I assume is the 280th day of 2021, which would have been October 7th. Received this can from @superspak in NBS BIF #15.
Pours very dark brown with a fairly generous head that settles slowly into a half centimeter layer with the edges crawling a little bit higher. Smell is bready and chocolatey, with a little bit of roastiness.
Taste is heavy toward coffee with chocolate added to it. Roasty flavors also are clearly there.
Mouthfeel is medium to thick, with a coarse feeling caused by carbonation, I think. Overall, this is a pretty good beer on a rainy day.

I'm stout biased, but this is truly outstanding. Dark brown/black with moderate head as a stout should be. Scent of chocolate and coffee as a stout should be, but there is a sweetness in the background. Taste follows, with the sweet kicking in on the back end. Full mouthfeel and an aftertaste of coffee and chocolate

Very dark with creamy head. Smooth beer on nitro. Chocolate is clearly present but not overpowering. Very balanced and tasty!
