Can from Oliver's Beverage Center, Albany. Opaque brown, nice sparkle, thin head with good retention, trace lacing. Aroma is strong toasted/lightly roasted malt, mild toffee, hint of coffee. Taste is strong toasted/lightly roasted malt and toasted brown bread, late mocha. Smooth, creamy, silky texture, soft carbonation and strongly roasted, lingering bitterness. Great strength. Nice take on a schwarzbier.

On draft at Common Roots Outpost, Albany, NY.
Poured into a mug.
Appearance: black color with a thin off-white cap of a head, dissipated quickly to barely leave any lace
Aroma: huge amount of earthy/woody hops, earthy yeast, dark malts and subtle tones of sweet coffee grounds
Flavor: clean sweet dark malts manages to balance with the earthy yeastiness, dark bready aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some earthy grip on my tongue, some sessionability, finishes with the dark breadiness
Overall: I'd say a nicely done dark lager worthy of returning to.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a large creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate/dark toffeeish malt. Creamy/med body. Flavor is the aroma but more on toffee than chocolate. Not exactly dry. Moderately bitter. Good flavor.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour with an initial beige head that subsides to a thin skin. Roasty aroma, chocolate, bitterness. Taste is dark chocolate, roast malts, light coffee. Creamy and just the right amount of bitterness. Super smooth.
