16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is soft cinnamon, bread, mild coffee. Body is a little bit thinner than the blueberry donut we had prior. Flavor still good texture is still smooth and it’s not overly sweet.
It is more bread as opposed to doughnut. Good, not great.

Can from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Opaque black, thin head quickly fading to ring, nice viscosity, trace lacing. Aroma is maple, custard bread (as opposed to donut), cinnamon. Taste is vague fruit, then expected cinnamon, maple, milder custard bread. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste, no sign of alcohol. French toast is definitely there, but not quite the depth and richness of the Blueberry version.

Can.
A- Black color, dark liquid, light brown head.
A- Chocolate, mild cinnamon, sweet.
F- Maple, chocolate, mild cinnamon, vanilla, sweet.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish.
O- Very sweet and a bit cloying. Needs some more complexity. Didn't get but of a donut flavor just a sugar bomb. Really only chocolate sauce and cinnamon through the tasting.

Can, from Vinyl Beer, Manhattan NYC (July 2025). Pours opaque dark brown with a large spongy tan head, chocolate-donut aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet chocolate-donut taste that turns medium bitter with cocoa nibs flavor, alcohol undertones, smooth thin body, long medium bitter finish with alcohol aftertaste. Strong and tasty, but alcohol escapes a bit.
