Served from the can in a snifter.

You'd better believe it, baby. Anyway, this stuff pours a deep midnight brown topped by a small finger of sandstone foam. The nose comprises chocolate syrup, coconut milk, mild roasted malts, and a small vein of vanilla flowing here and there. The taste brings in more of the same, the coconut and vanilla going toe-to-toe with the chocolate, creating a rather tasty combination in the aftermath. The body is a hefty medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a tasty blend, to be sure.
