3/29/19 (Chicago)): $6.50 (with tax and tip) purchased 10/14/18 to go at Half Acre. 16 ounce canned on 9/6/18 poured into pint glass. Dark black pour, creamy light tan head, dissipates leaving light bubbly lacing. Milk chocolate and malt the predominate aromas. Strong roast coffee taste emerges, backed by creamy chocolate. excellent well blended stout. Very creamy texture, carbonation holds well, creamy rich mouth feel, easy smooth drinking. Overall excellent stout!

Canned 9/10/18; drank 9/27/18 @ the Yarchives.
Black/brown appearance.
A violent pour yielded a big, noisy dark tan head; thick, frothy tree-rung lace.
Cream, light roast coffee bean & mild fresh earth notes in the nose.
Creamy medium mouthfeel.
Light roast coffee & mild caramel flavors up front; cream & faint raspberry notes on the finish.
Balanced but very flavorful based on the style...huzzah!
