Can at home. Opaque dark brown to black color, full sized beige to light brown colored head. Aroma is over the top espresso and cold coffee. Flavor is similar: insanely heavy espresso, firm bitterness. A bit one sided unfortunately. Fairly soft carbonation, quite low bodied. Hmm over the top I'd say.

Nitro at Sick-N-Twisted: pours dark brown with a nitro head. Aroma is loads of milky coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Taste is like a smooth coffee. Not crazy flavorful coffee, but it gets the job done.

Pint can from Total Wine Appleton, 9/29/24. Black, thin tan head, average retention. Aroma of coffee roast, chocolate. Taste is coffee, roast, choocolate, caaramel, vanilla. Well balanced. Nice.

473ml can. Darkest brown colour with ruby shimmer and small to average, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Coffee aroma, notes of mocha, a touch of instant coffee, widely disguised, dark malty background. Taste is coffee flavoured, slightly roasty, dark malty, minimally diluted notes of mocha, a touch of instant coffee, subtle residual sweetness. Super creamy texture, smooth, soft and silky palate, very fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation. Immensely creamy, a tad monotonous - pretty nice.
