12 fl oz pull-tab can:

$10.10 USD plus tax per sixer of 12 fl oz cans.

6% ABV. "Stout."

A biteen metallic. Chocolate malt. Dark malts. Not getting any roasted barley/carafa character.

Not a great stout - or even a competent one.

12oz can, wine glass, no freshness dating.

Dark brown with obsidian highlights and just a swirl of rapidly dissipating khaki bubbles.

Molasses, Graham cracker, light char.

A rush of molasses and caramel brownie sweetness turns sour and acrid. Not much bitterness and no hop flavor evident. The aftertaste is really quite objectionable; a sour cardboard.

Thin, low carbonation, sort of dry.

I’d guess this is mediocre beer that is also old, however who knows, because there is no date on the can.

Pours a scarlet tinged mahogany with much effervescence with 2 fingers of rocky tan head.

S: Iron, a little roastyness, some dark cherry & fig notes once warm

T: Follows the nose, fairly dry with a little nutttyness that would work better in a brown ale, but also some roastyness. Mostly dryness and roastyness as this warms, plus a little vanilla sweetness, not much as this warms. Finishes roasty and dry with a little iron & charred grain & a little out of place nuttyness

MF: Medium body, slight carbonation

Not bad, but pretty middle of the road for the style, drinks easy enough
