404ml can [looks bigger, though]. Slightly cloudy, brass colour with slowly rising, small, very thick and dense, creamy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Restricted, slightly artificial, sweet-ish, malty aroma, hints of instant coffee granules, some vanilla. Taste is sweet, artificial, notes of vanilla, a touch of coffee, cream, some watery passages; quite alcoholic finish. Very creamy texture, smooth and soft palate. Nice nitro effect, but: too alcoholic, too artificial, definitely not the Dude's mixture. It's funny to have a few sips, but the almost pure alcoholic finish makes it hardly drinkable in the end.

Can 400ml (Systembolaget) Golden-amber colour, small white head. From looks you can already say: no, this is not a stout. Aroma is .. potatoes, yes. Light-bodied, feels 5% beers. Some sweetness, coffee, vanilla and potatoes. This is real crap from Left Hand.

13.65 oz can... to be exact... Pours a dark amber with light nitro head. Aromas of earth coffee, coconut, sweet vanilla and sweet malts, mellowed and attenuated by the nitro head. Flavors of sweet sugary malts with a bit of coffee. Surprising, not much there but a sugary, creamy beverage. Very surprising

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is clear orange after initial gorgeous white cascading nitro pour (still think it works better in a stout) with white-as-driven-snow finger-width creamy pillow of a head with excellent persistence and spattering of lacing. Aroma is nice mix of coffee and vanilla over chocolate and hint of almond mild booze. Taste is really nice creamy vanilla with sweet roasted coffee liqueur and chocolate as a backdrop. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with absolutely teflon smooth texture soft pillowy texture hint of booze and finish as taste. Overall I am VERY pleasantly surprised! This is too mellow and smooth to say it kicks ass but it is really exceptional and it's cool how the aroma and flavor are unexpected based on the color. Love it!
