473mL can. Pours black with a tan head. Earthy roast with notes of coffee and nuts on the nose. Flavour has loads of bitter cacao, good roasty base, some dusty toasted nuts. Nicely executed, but not getting too much on the pecan front.

16 oz can purchased as a single at The Wine Thief & Ale Jail in Crystal, Minnesota. The pour is an opaque black brown with a ½ inch khaki head that falls relatively quickly. The aroma is milk chocolate, fudge, a touch of chocolate bitterness along with roast malt. The taste is sweet chocolate, cane sugar, char, roast malt and finishes with a kind of dark chocolate ashiness. The palate is medium to heavier boded, soft natural carbonation and the dark chocolate, softly boozy finish. This one showed the alcohol more than the Dutch Apple Pie version.

Pint can pours with a deep dark black colored body that has deep red mahogany hues and supports a dark tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate malts to dark chocolate, a bit of marshmallow and then wide thin note of nuttiness. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of chocolate malts, dark roasted coffee flowing into a sweeter pool of malty goodness to midway. Toward the finish the dark chocolate ramps up with only murmurs of the nuttiness in tow. Fairly rich sipper.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a large creamy tan head that didn't persist for long. aroma of coffee, chocolate and pecans. Approaching full body. Not dry. Burnt malt bitter. Flavor is coffee, pecans and chocolate. Has a hint of the old jello chocolate pudding. With time it heads towards mildly astringent dryness. Doesn't get all the way tho.
