Draught from diamond. Dark pour with hints of brown and red. Caramel, malts, good body. Well done

16 ounce can. Translucent cola brown color. Small creamy beige cap. Sweet toasted malt aroma hints at toffee and dried dark fruits. Flavor follows nose. Added notes of molasses, smokey peat and chocolate cherry candy. Mildly complex. Sticky mouthfeel. Quite tasty.
