Can (2/3/22) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque, inky black with a few floaties, light sparkle with finger-width light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong sweet roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, donut, vanilla and mild cinnamon. Taste is strong sweet malt, cocoa, donut, coffee, vanilla, honey glaze and light cinnamon. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, frothy texture, sot carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice complexity with great balance. Avoids getting too sweet and alcohol hidden.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of coffee, chocolate, wet stone, vanilla, dark bread, cinnamon. Pours very dark brown with a half finger tan head with good retention. Taste is moderately sweet and lightly bitter with flavors of the adjuncts, although the donuts are a little hard to pick out. Nice velvety mouthfeel.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that lingers. Very coffee focused nose with espresso and slight waffle cone aromas alongside vanilla. Medium body with lots of espresso on the palate. Don't really get any cinnamon in this one. Lingering roasted coffee and vanilla creamer on the finish.

16 oz. can. Aroma is subtle chocolate, mild cinnamon, soft coffee. Flavor is exact copy of the aroma. The cinnamon is downplayed and all the adjuncts are in harmony. Soft lingering coffee finish. Medium plus body. Very enjoyable!
