Black with a large foamy brown head. Dry and roasty with floral hops, strong coffee and a bit of cocoa. Long finish. Moderately full bodied

12 ounce can, 5/14/21. Black, large brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, nuts. Taste is roast, dark chocolate, dark fruits. Chewy, well balanced. Just a nice simple and well executed stout. Love it.

Nice looking deep blue can. $2 at vintage. Pour is not pitch black with a beauty of a head, very nice approaching a guinness pour. Typical beery nose. Stronger, almost imperial, but never quite gits thar. Taste is burned stuff and some unsweetened burnt bitter choco. Good, solid. Gets a little medicine near the end. Not bad for a $2 almost impy stout. On the finish there's still a creaminess from the decent slithering CO2. You got to fight for your right to parteeeeeeeeeee.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 4/18/2019. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky tan head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crusts; with lighter notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, citrus peel/rind, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts; light-moderate citrus/earthy hop, and fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crusts; with lighter notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, citrus peel/rind, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery hop; and roast/charcoal bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of ark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crusts, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, citrus peel/rind, wood, grass, peppercorn, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts; light-moderate citrus/earthy hop, and fruity yeast flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no acrid/astringent hop/roast flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/bready, fairly sticky/chalky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an excellent American stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts; light-moderate citrus/earthy hop, and fruity yeast flavors; very smooth easy to drink with the modestly bitter/charred/drying finish. Very rich and well rounded stout malt complexity; with balancing citrusy/earthy Cascade hops. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. Was a little too bitter at first, but got smoother as it warmed up.
