Dark brown, with a fairly thick head. Toasty, chocolatey nose with a little bit of piney hop. On the palate, hoppy first, moderate bitterness. Lots of roast, some chocolate, touch of wort. Good complexity. Full body, a bit creamy. This is really good non-alc, maybe the best I've had.

12oz can from HomeBrewStuff. Near black pour, filmy beige head with ring. Light roasty aroma with light chocolate. Taste is light roasty malts. Simple. Not too bad, but seems thin.

12 oz can poured, from a six pack, and officially kicking off my 4th annual dry month of March. Really solid product here, and while I might not mirror the other ratings here and say this is the best NA I've ever had, I can say with confidence that it's close. I imagine it's hard to make a NA version of a classic, and not be subject to immediate comparisons. Really close to the original in a lot of ways. Flavorful, dark toasty malts, soft chocolate, somewhat dry finish. Mellow but enjoyable toasty malt nose. Flavor doesn't completely disappear from the palate here. Solid alternative for when you want to enjoy a local classic without compromise.

12 oz. Aroma has notes of chocolate milk, nuts, caramel, wet stone. Pours dark brown to nearly black with a one finger beige head with good retention. Taste has a moderate sweetness with a lightly bitter hoppy edge that builds on the palate. Mouthfeel runs from creamy to watery. Without a doubt the best N/A beer I’ve ever had. Hard to tell it apart from the original.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 6/12/22. Been looking forward to this. Dark brown, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate, nuts, roast. Taste is roast, nuts, chocolate, cherry. Tad bit thin compared to the original, but not missing much, and pretty damn good. I anticipate buying this by the case!
