Can at WS BiB Share. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is marshmallow, cocoa, roast, vanilla, spice. Slick body, marshmallow, cocoa, light roast, dry finish, very nice.

07/06/20. Pours very thick, muddy. Nearly flat, some slow carbonation visible. Very dark brown. Smells deep, bit of chocolate and vanilla. Smooth and soft mouthfeel, fair carb. Heavy. Taste has some roast, bitter chocolate, rich. Very intense, very good.

Pours a thick, dark, oily black, with smallish head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, licorice, cocoa, marshmallow. Flavor is very strongly licorice, some chocolate, cocoa, coffee. Very sweet stout, thought the ABV is well-hidden in both aroma and flavor. Soft mouthfeel.

16 ounce can thanks to Minako. Pours a pitch black hue with a large off white head. A huge sweet nose, marshmallows especially. The flavor is rich layers, cocoa, dusty, dark fruit, sugary sweet marshmallows. Very flavorful. A bit much, but good.
