Can. Black w a cm of tan head that fades in a while. Roasty and caramel aroma with mocha, spices. There are rummy dark sugars but that's not unusual in big Australian stouts. But they're more to the fore upon a taste, along with oak and pepper. The stout is there but a lower key rumble. Tails off a bit into more spiced oak. Booze is pretty well covered, if not entirely justified. Fair enough.
