(Can) Pours black with good thick tan head. Bold aroma with mocha, pipe tobacco, and hints of wood and berries. Lovely mouthfeel, quite full bodied with plenty of fine soft carbonation. Taste starts with coffee and some dark toffee hint of sweetness. Then the bitterness takes off, with a combination of hop and burnt sugar bitterness. There’s some pleasant transient fruity notes in the mid palate. Enjoyable.

Can. 2020 version is 8.3% ABV. Black with a good inch of tan head that fades to a fat coat. Aroma of roast, mocha, stewed berries, tobacco, menthol. Medium bodied + with lowish carbonation. Getting towards silky. Drier than expected with more roast than mocha, some singed notes, prominent bitterness that's pine and spice-tinged. I like that but the berries got a bit lost. There's also not much of a bottom end rumble, but it is closer to 8 than 10%. What I like about this one is its coherence and harmony.
