12 ounce can into a snifter. Had 4/4/21.

Pours a cola color, somewhat opaque, with a one and a half inch head of creamy foam and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of malt, chocolate, caramel, light licorice, a light herbal aroma, a little coffee. Flavors of chocolate, malt, herbal hops, some caramel, light licorice, a little coffee. Smooth, a very good medium to full body, well carbonated.

Aromas and flavors are straightforward and focused, and this is on point for the style. A nice effort and an easy drinker.

Recent canning and release (February 3, 2020) but the can is not dated. The next in the 'Hello My Name Is' series of styles.
From the website:
"A style brewed for long, cold, wet days. A dark mahogany color topped by a thick, creamy tan head. A robust plethora of flavors dance on your tongue. Caramel, chocolate, coffee, molasses, licorice, dried fruit notes, and subtle roast. This warming brew is meant to wash the day’s woes away with a single sip, leaving you to enjoy a mug of the fine stuff."

Dark, dark, opaque mahogany that glows when backlit, with bubbles rising to a temporary 1/2in head of mixed tan, bubbles. The edge-hugging ring leaves the glass clean after agitation develops running legs.

Roasty malt and dark stone fruit notes dominate a fresh aroma.
All the noted flavors are there: coffee, molasses, orange rind, raisin, cherries, chocolate, and caramel in the order I was directed to them. I get none of the metallic flavor I often taste in darker, malty beers.

Mouthfeel is full and almost creamy, but not thick or tongue coatingly so, yet some stickiness remains with a bitter, roasty reminder.

Overall a very pleasant malt drinker.
