This 12 oz can of Big Country was bought at Mr. T's locally, glad to have a craft beer store fairly close by. I have a Belgian snifter in place for the pour, dark brown-black in color with a hefty head of dark tan foam. The scent give plenty of chocolate along with grain and nuts. The taste is good, even nice, with chocolate, of course, tobacco, vanilla, malt, dark bread and earth. For the style and the abv, I find the feel to be thinner than expected. Okay, far from great in a style I like considerably.
