16 ounce can, best by May 2017 stamped on the bottom of the can. Can conditioned.

Lovely pitch black beer sitting under aboot an inch of tan foam.

Rum and chocolate/cocoa permeate my every nose bud. That's not to say that I don't get an abundant amount of vanilla, cuz I do.

6 months of aging in Rum barrels did the trick. Oodles and oodles of rum taste here folks. There's a mix of chocolate and cocoa nibs with the latter more prevalent to my palate.

Vanilla hits me just before and through the finish.

Aboot full bodied with adequate carbonation.

Nice beer and I'll give it the accolades it deserves but. ..+$13 a can is pretty steep in my book.
