Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is nutty, some alcohol, chocolaty and mild biscuit tones. Flavour is very similar, but also has some caramel tones. Good, fudge wasn't mentioned, that would have been false marketing.

From Beer Drop, no canning date that I can find.
Pours black with a small head of tan foam. Lacing is better than retention.
Smell is chocolate, yeah fudge, vanilla, mild lactose.
The taste is chocolate sweet, fudge with vanilla, roasted malt, some kind of pitted fruit. Alcohol is there but it is not intrusive.
High end of medium bodied if not outright full bodied, I would drink this again.

2022 can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a full finger of beige head that dissipates. As advertised...fudge all over the nose with some vanilla and mild prune notes. More of the same on the palate. 11% abv hidden well. Smooth fudge and vanilla on the finish without being overly sweet. Light roastiness on the finish.
