Can. Pretty much black with an inch of tan head. Aroma is quite inviting with light smoke, cream, mocha, burnt caramel. Smooth texture. Just enough roasty presence to underpin. There's smoke, toffee, mocha as the main players, then a little bitterness gently grips. Alcohol is very well hidden. Often when breweries make a big version of a stalwart it ends up crude but this is just both more muscular and finessed.
