On tap at MBCC 2023, pours a filthy dark brown, no head. Aroma brings out deep toasted pecans, cocoa, and a hint of vanilla beans — also a bit of green pepper. Flavour is rich and nutty, with decadent toasted pecans upfront, followed by cocoa, and vanilla. Very nutty and rich. I love the pecans in here. Excellent.
