Nitro 13.65 ounce can from Ridgeview Liquor, 2/22/22. Dark red, medium creamy nitro head, good retention. Aroma of sweet chocolate and cherry. Taste is sweet and mildly tart cherry, chocolate, vanilla. Creamy. Bit thin. Moderate bitterness coming from somewhere. Well balanced. Nice.

Dark chocolate and very light cherry. Black pour with great nitro head and lacing. Light sweet finish with only a hint of bitterness. Kind of lacks flavour. Also there was like 15% missing from the can--strange. Not bad, but also not memorable. Can.

Taste at Beasts & Brews. Pours black, with a big, cascading, tan head. The nose is dark chocolate, coconut, maple, and light smoke. Sweet and syrupy, without any real balance. Light to medium body, with a lovely, creamy finish. Nice.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Nitro version. Pours a super dark cherry cola color with ruby highlights and a small, fine beige head with excellent retention. Decent lacing. Good looking nitro action too. Dark chocolate cake aroma. Dry chocolate flavor with a light roast and a light boozy finish. I'm not picking up the cherry flavor, and that's okay. Creamy mouthfeel. Medium body. Not sweet or bitter. Overall more subtle than expected. The 7.7% ABV is well hidden. Well made.

Can/Fest. A- Cocoa, watery. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, beige head. T- Ashy, cocoa. P- Light body, creamy texture, flat carbonation, bland finish. O- Nitro really ruins this. Aroma is next to nothing and there isn't even cherry in the flavor. Bland cocoa powder. Pretty big fail here.
