This is a big smooth stout with chocolate dessert qualities from the addition of cacao nibs and vanilla beans.

Pours a two-finger light tan head that slowly fades, leaving traces of lace. Black color, no highlights. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is vanilla and cacao. Flavor follows, with light sweetness from the vanilla and cacao. Higher ABV, 10.1%, not noticeable. $5.95 for a 16oz yellow/black can from Beverage Warehouse, Winooski, VT.

Purchased in a pint can, Nov 6 canned on date (40 days ago roughly). ABV is 10.1% (not 11.7 as the original mention).

Poured into an Einstok pint bar glass, able to fit the whole can in one pour as the foaming was nearly absent (1/8 in)....
It's black, literally no light penetrates.

Smell is alcohol and coffee with some dark chocolate, taste reveals more of same - coffee/chocolate with less obvious alcohol... it works on a 30 degrees morning as a winter warmer by the fireplace. Feel is really smooth, I could get into this one better if it gets more refined in the appearance area.
