From a 12oz can, undated. Purchased at the brewery 03/07/24. Served in a cervoise.

Pours motor oil brown-black with two-plus fingers of rich, chocolatey foam. Retention is very good, leaving a puckered cap that stands up for several minutes and a rousable sheet of sudsy lacing.

Nose is disappointingly faint but oth I’m having a bit of an allergy day so I guess the beer and I have to make allowances for each other. Anyway, chocolatey.

Taste is rich, sweet and chocolate bar-like. It’s an odd way to describe it but my son and I both thought the same thing: we don’t really taste ‘pretzels’ per se but it’s like a graham cracker stout without the scratchy graham cracker taste and so, whatever’s left that’s not scratchy graham cracker, that must be pretzel. Some molassesy, tacky malt syrupiness at the end.

Fell is rich and unctous, fairly thick bodied but right in line with the style. Vanishingly gentle, prickly carbonation makes it feel even a little heavier.

Overall, good. It was dynamite when I had it on draft at the brewery - not a style I’d expect to be dramatically different out of the can compared to the taps but, whatever, so be it.
