16 oz. can. Aroma is huge coffee, vanilla, roasted malt. The flavor is a reflection of the aroma with a nice lingering warming after the sip. The 11 % ABV can not be hidden in this monster! The mouth feel is full and creamy. Only downfall for me is I can’t drink all this lactose.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown/black with a few darkish bubbles. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and lactose. Full bodied. Flavor is smooth dark malt, dark chocolate, lactose, nice coffee and vanilla. Not at all dry. Dark malt bitter. Very smooth and tasty.

16 oz. can. Pours black, with a thin, fizzy, fleeting head. The nose is strong banana esters and rubber, with some nice coffee, vanilla, and milk chocolate. Sweet and malty, with a light, funky finish. Heavy body, with a creamy, sugary palate. Infected, sadly, but remarkably passable in spite of it.

Can (5/8/20) pour from The Beer Store, Nashua. Appearance is opaque black with trace sparkle at the sides of the glass, 1/2-finger width light brown foamy head with decent retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong bittersweet roasted coffee, vanilla, lactose, chocolate and fruit backdrop. Taste is rich, decadently sweet lactose, vanilla, chocolate and cherry/dark fruit undertones over coffee. Mouthfeel is full bodied with thick, syrupy texture, soft carbonation, mild pleasant alcohol warmth and strong, sweet finish as taste with absolute tail end mild bitterness. Overall, a really decadently rich sipper. I'm a huge sweet fan but this goes a bit over the cloyingly sweet edge for me. A lot to like here, including restraint on the coffee but held back from being downright amazing by being a bit too syrupy sweet.
