6-pack of 12 oz. cans from Aldi. Pours a pitch black color with a tiny light brown head and fair retention. Fair lacing. Dark chocolate aroma. Dark, bitter, dry chocolate flavor with minor lactose notes and a strange metallic note to finish. Not as sweet as I expected for a pastry stout. Okay, but a bit disappointing. Lighter than average body for the style. Low carbonation, as expected. Some dark chocolate bitterness. At least the 8.0% ABV is well hidden.

Black with a small tan head. Toasty malt with waxy chocolate and a bit of vanilla. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Tastes like a chocolate lava cake, which it should since it’s full of chocolate lava cake “natural” flavors. Bullshit pastry beer made with bullshit ingredients to fit a bullshit style popular in a bullshit market.
