Can with #1118 on bottom, no date, drunk 7/2/22. Clear ebony, tan head is fleeting. Soft and beany, a bit of sharpness from somewhere. Oily, peanut, espresso... Soft and malty, heavy bitterness is odd but does balance the sweet malt. Licorice, caramel, espresso, intense dark chocolate. Don't love that intense bitterness but otherwise well-done.

Can shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque dark, dark brown (virtually black) with nice viscosity. Aroma is nice mix of coffee, chocolate, lactose and vanilla. Taste well balanced coffee, lactose, vanilla and hints of chocolate and caramel. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol heat and lightly bitter finish. Overall, good complexity and balance though not hugely strong.

16 oz. can. 2022 vintage. Flavor is rich without becoming sweet. Vanilla, molasses, and long lingering coffee notes. Nice body and texture. Mild earthy note in the finish.
