Pounder: Dark roasted malt, coffee nose. Mahogany, thin tan head. Charcoal, raisin. Full body, easy carbonation, chalky, subtle prickly heat. Enjoyable, but perhaps a little timid. I expected a little bolder spice character.

$3.10 pint can, Wine Warehouse. Pours dark brown with a soft beige head. Aroma is chocolate powder, cinnamon, coffee. Flavor is cold coffee, cinnamon, chili peppers, chocolate. Definitely has a bit of heat in the throat. Coffee might be too much, and it's not really a good coffee flavor.

16 oz can shared by a friend, thanks Sam! Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of spice, roasty notes. Tastes of bitter slightly burnt ground coffee, dark chocolate. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Pretty good attempt. Would like a bit more body and less bitterness in the coffee notes.
