16oz can served in a big snifter. Can is dated 10/31/2025. Got it from @Braunmeister_1943 in a trade.
Pours black, slightly translucent, with a thin even coating of head with a few bubbly blemishes. Smell is roasty resin, pine and coffee.
Taste is similar, throw in some molasses and caramel and cola. Grapefruit rind becomes slightly more orangey. More singed bread crust, burnt coffee.
Mouthfeel is light and smooth. Nice beer.

Pours a dark reddish-brown with a thick, rocky head. Dark roasted malt, coffee, cocoa and subtle citrus/ pine notes. Smooth chocolate flavor upfront with balanced citrus. Full, lush mouthfeel. Overall, outstanding!
