Can from Beer52 as part of their Pennsylvania box. Dark reddish-brown with a small beige head. Roasted malts, nuts, caramel, hint of cocoa on the nose. Nice flavour to this - roasted malts, chocolate, some smoke with a nice bitter-sweet crispness in the finish helped by a fine carbonation and some herbal hops. Very good.

Can from Beer 52 – drank at home. Pours a dark reddish brown with a lively ubt transient frothy cream head. Raisins to the fore in the aroma, along with hints of chocolate cake. In the mouth, there is an initial hoppy sharpness along with cloying chocolate, toffee and dark fruits. Finish is quite fruity. It’s reasonable, but I would say it’s more of a black IPA than a stout.
