$ 4.10 (Including tax)/16 oz can ($0.256/oz) from Total Wine, Selma, TX. Reviewed 10/6/19.
Undated can. On shelf at store, stored and served at reefer temperature.
Appearance – 4.25.
First pour – Dark brown, clear.
Body – Dark brown/black, opaque.
Head – Large (Maximum nine cm, aggressive center pour), tan, medium density, long duration, slooowly diminishing to an eight to twenty mm jagged crown and a complete cap. Much lacing remains as the head recedes. Second pour produces only a two cm head but otherwise similar.
Lacing – Excellent! Wide band of tiny to small bubbles forming the silhouette of a rugged mountain range. See also above.
Aroma – 4 – Chocolate malt.
Flavor – 3.25 - A bit spicier than the average porter but the predominant taste is slightly bitter toasted chocolate malt. No alcohol (6% ABV) flavor or aroma, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3 – Medium, watery, lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3 – (Minus 0.25 point for undated personal container.) Despite the attractive appearance and the above average nose, the flavor just isn’t great. The rye is buried in the chocolate, to the detriment of the flavor profile.

Creamy chocolate brown with a tall head of off-white, 1 1/2 fingers tall, leaving webby lace.

Aromas of YooHoo and spicy toast notes, with hints of peppery coffee.

Flavor brings what's reminiscent of that vinegar bread dip at an italian restaurant, followed by slight spicy rye, cola, chocolate cake bread, and two day old coffee. Garlic-vinegar and coffee lingers. Tastes like when you vomited recently, but not just recently. Like half an hour ago. Sour acid burn.

Feel is like a nitro beer with a touch more carbonation and actual ethanol burn at only 6%.

Overall this beer is fucking awful. I should have opted for the second sixer of Tip The Cow instead.
