16 oz can. Pours dark and murky with little head. A few bubbles cling to the side of the glass and a thin haze of film comes to the surface after a bit. Aromas of peat, dark roast, charcoal, and a touch of leather. Flavor is sweeter and creamier than expected given the scorched notes in the nose. It's like coffee, chocolate, a bit of cream and some dark pit fruit. It really is lovely and I would love to share with a pal if it weren't for this damned coronavirus lockdown that has me digging around in the cellar.
