16oz can served in a slightly tulipy stemmed glass. Dated 9/07/22. Got it from @Norsemanone in a trade.

Pours dark, not stout, but darker than cola. Nearly stout, though. Head is vestigial - one millimeter thick ring around the edge. Smell is overcooked syrup and booze, char, intense raisin.

Taste is molasses, toffee, dates and raisins, cola, and nuts.

Mouthfeel is not light, but way lighter than a 15.5% beer ought to be. Overall...this is nice. It's like getting hit by a geo metro at 40 mph when you were expecting a Mack at 65.

Poured at fridge temp. Pours very dark brown with minimal head. The nose is rich toffee, molasses, bourbon, rye, big malts, and booze. The taste is definitely on the boozy side, but it works amazingly here. Tons of rich toffee, rye, bourbon, some imperial stout, slight roasted malts, brown sugar, and big malts. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but it's not a big stout.
