473ml can [9.0% abv]. Jet black colour with late awakening, small, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, tan head. Aroma has initially (thankfully) ephemeral hints of dog shit, later hints of caramel, toffee and cocoa. Taste is sweet, dark and caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, toffee, some chocolate, cocoa; slightly warming, alcoholic finish. Very viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation. Though ephemeral, the dog shit touch in the aroma remains annoying, all the while it disappears physically yet doesn't vanish in memory totally. Furthermore not overly rich, rather monotonous and tacky - meh.

473ml can. A black beer with a tan lacing. Aroma of strong dark roasted malt, chocolate, caramel. Taste of dark roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, caramel.
