Pounder from Appalachian, $3.85. No date but it was freshly delivered to the shop & they haven't been canning long. Pint glass at home.

Black on brown, opaque, dirty tan head.
Sharp chocolate malt, dark fruit, bitter soot, touch of cocoa on the nose.
Sooty, strongly bittersharp, a little cream, lingering cola acidity to the tail, lingering burnt veg.
More acidic than milky, very thin, average+ abv.

Kinda good.
