(BBD 28 Dec 22) - Nitro version. Poured a velvety black color from a 14.9 oz. can into a standard pint glass with a creamy finger high head that receded slowly and left curtain lacing that clung to the glass as it dissipated. Aroma is earthy and grainy which is fairly standard for the style. Taste is chocolate forward but is not overly chocolaty and has hints of chicory, roasted malts & grain. Mouth is smooth, medium bodied with a clean finish and is very drinkable. Picked up for under $10 for a 4 pack and was quite pleased wit the purchase.

Poured from a 11.2oz bottle dated 28 JUL 22 to a diagonally cut tumbler at fridge temp but was slowly sipped and allowed to warm.
The body is opaque black with a short, deep tan head on top that fades but provides some quickly disappearing lacing.
Chocolate is dominant in the smell as is the alcohol. Some dried fruit can be sensed also.
The taste brings the dried fruit out more prominently; cherrys, raisins, all “chocolate covered”. This beer bridges between the sweet and the bitter. Overall the taste is reminiscent of a box full of a fruity alcohol chocolate sampler.
Mouthfeel seems rather thin frankly, but it does leave your lips sticky.
I am not quite sure about how I feel about this beer. It was worth the experience, but will not be a repeat purchase.

16oz nitro can into a pint glass. Best before 9/19/22, so a couple weeks late on this one.
Looks superb in the glass. Jet black body, cream colored creamy head which persists throughout leaving a layer of lacing.
Creamy aroma, but smells a little off.
On tasting, not getting as much chocolate as I hoped, but a sweet creamy stout with a light roast at the end for balance.
Mouth just about reaches medium, finish roasty.
Overall, some flaws in all categories except the look.

A bit surprised I had never reviewed this beer before.
Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Rich dark brown color with great beige head and nice curtain lacing.smell and taste of dark chocolate and roasted malt. Clean, not overpowering taste. Rich, smooth feel. I wish I had another bottle!
