Purchased at local BCLDB. 14.99 for a 6 pack of cans.
Into a Delerium snifter.
Big head, pitch black colour, Kind a thinner stout, great mouthfeel, taste is quite good, a little sweeter than I initially expected. Overall, will try again.

Pours dark coffee color with slight fading khaki head in tulip on draught at The Alibi Room in Vancouver. Notes of coffee with hints of salted caramel, smoke, and coffee Really nice.

Dark brown, near black, covered with a cloud of sandy, bubbly head. A couple minutes retention before leave a film.
Dark chocolate & dark roast coffee beans, with cream and almonds lending some sweetness to the scent. Creme brulee.
Creamy chocolate, like a less-rich version you would put on a fudge sunday, and more milky, like the ice cream has melted in a bit. Relatively sweet, like candy sugar, with some vanilla. Not picking up salt. A touch of coffee roast. Very low bitterness. Light carbonation, medium-full body, well rounded feel.

More shallow on flavour then expected, and not living up the name - I was expecting something like a salted dark chocolate bar. Heavy handed on the sugars, which is a turn off for me. There's potential and I like the idea, but work to be done on the execution.

Deep nose - sweet + savoury, both, almost like eel sauce. Not very salted caramel, though. (Ed: that’s because it’s salted *licorice*) Interesting, at least.

500 ml bottle poured into a glass mug. Deep, dark brown with a frothy head of tan foam. Aromas of roasted malt, cocoa and earth. Satisfyingly balanced flavor with Dutch licorice adding a perfect herbal and savory counterpoint to the roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and toffee malt notes. Medium to full body and moderate carbonation.
