16 oz. can.
Canned 10/09/19.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a big tan head that was gone in seconds, seriously. Near black body with no lacing. Nose of milk chocolate, vanilla, and cookie. Taste mirrors nose with a sort of chocolate/vanilla cookie dough flavor going on here. I wonder what this would be like with half, or even a quarter, of the lactose used. I'm guessing it would be much more to my liking. Very thin feel and overall? Nuff said...

Found a light stamp slightly pressed in the back in silver coloring noting "100919."
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance had a dark brown color close to black with no head no matter how hard I poured.
The aroma makes up for the appearance by showing me sweet milk chocolate flowing into some sweet creme/sugary vanilla whiffs. Subtle roasty coffee bean underneath.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side and actually tasting more like cookie dough than what I smelled. Sticky milk chocolate aftertaste with vanilla creme and a touch of marshmallow.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Decent carbonation but lent a hand to some stickiness, not cloying but gave a finish of sweet cookie and milk chocolate.
Overall, I'd say BBC did what they set out to do and this is a sure fine object of drinking for this time of the year.
