Can. Pour is a deep brown (thick looking for a beer with 7% ABV written on the can) and a dense tan head that dies back slowly to leave some lovely lacing on the sides of the glass. Aromas are a punch to the face of coffee grounds, charcoal, and a touch of vanilla and chocolate. Flavor is lovely... chocolate and coffee. Mouthfeel is a bit thin for my likes, but I like a big and bruising imperial stout, so maybe I'm hoping for too much here. It's a good beer... well balanced and executed. I just want to try its big brother version.

Coffee, milk chocolate malt, and hay aroma. Black with giant brown head. Mildly sweet coffee, milk chocolate malt, and moderately bitter dry grass flavor. Okay body.

Roast and lots of coffee. Black pour with good mocha head, sticks around for a while. Decent lacing. Bitter finish. Good body here. Can.
