Can (1/5/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's an opaque black (dark brown, and some yeasty detritus, at the bottom of the glass) with slight reddish hue, lots of large nasty white floaties (almost looks like jam), no sparkle, thin cap of crackling, fizzy light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is delightful sweet roasted malt, lactose, chocolate and hint of cherry. Taste is decadent, rich chocolate, lactose, roasted malt with lighter nuts and cherry. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, creamy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a pretty horrific look and a bit over carbonated but very nice aroma and flavor. Don't look at it and let it sit for a bit and you should be all set!

Can from the Packie shared with Paul Solid black in color with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly. Big roasty milk chocolate and faint licorice. Light cherry and almonds with just enough earthy hop to counter. Sweet sticky sipper, glad I was sharing.
