16 ounce can from Tavour. Translucent mahogany brown color. Frothy tan head. Mild toasted malt aroma has notes of fresh-baked brown bread. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, toffee, chocolate, dried fruits and toasted walnuts. Wonderfully complex while being smooth and easy drinking. Delicious.

Draught @ Beer Shop, Oak Park (Nov 2023). Clear brown with copper highlights, large creamy beige head, caramel-chocolate aroma, high carbonation, initially sweet medium bitter chocolate-mocha taste, smooth thin body, long dark chocolate finish. Delicious.

Can from Tavour. Pours extremely dark mahogany (held against strong light) with a creamy turning foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt with a chocolate note. Med creamy body. Flavor is roasted malt, sort of Tmavy, with notes of chocolate. Neither dry nor sweet. Moderately bitter. Hop is hard to pin down. Floral but spicy. Very good flavor overall.

16oz can from Tavour. Near black pour, subsiding beige head. Roasty aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. Aroma is great, taste is better. Sweet chocolate greets the palate, coffee bitterness floating on top. So smooth and creamy. This is amazing stuff!
