16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of whiskey barrels, lots of cocoa, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is quite sweet, with big whiskey barrels, spicy rye, dark sugars, cocoa, and vanilla. A bit harsh and unintegrated, but there's some real nice flavours here. Good stuff, even if a bit unrefined.

Poured from 473mL can. Near black with very minimal beige head. Vanilla, mild rye, underlying cacao. Comes together quite nicely.
