Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is very coffee forward with some light fruitiness and a bit of a nut character. Medium light chocolate notes with lighter toffee and caramel. Faint roast notes. Pours dark brown to black with a medium small, medium thick, dark tan head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. Flavor is fairly sweet with some chocolate and light roast an nut notes. Hints of caramel and toffee. Tons of coffee notes with hints of fruity and nutty notes. Hints of alcohol spice. Medium low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium to medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very coffee forward beer. The coffee character is great too and not dark and roast. Malt profile is pretty light though and really let's the coffee shine.

Can thanks to Chow. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is milk chocolate, roast, vanilla bean. Thick, chewy, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

On tap at Fieldwork. It pours a dark brown color with a dark tan head. The aroma is rich with chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Only lightly toasted malt. The flavor is creamy with chocolate and strong coffee. Sweet, with a hint of roasted malt in the finish. Good.

Tap. Pours clear mahogany, medium ultra creamy tan head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Definitional 5 on appearance. Aroma is indeed heavy mocha, coffee, cocao nibs, roasted malts, hints of toffee as well. Flavor is medium sweet, medium bitter, rich and loaded with coffee cake notes. Full body. Nice beer.
