A tall boy can purchased at the closest to a craft beer shop we have in town a month or so back. I lift the tab and tilt the can of brew into my Cowtown snifter. Mostly black liquid with a bit of brown around the edges and no discernible head. I smell chocolate and a bit of marshmallow. And I have a taste, chocolate again mostly, sorghum molasses, grain, malt, enough peanuts to mention it and a nice sweetness, call it honey. A decent thickness. Martin House continues to do well with their special brewings, particularly imperial stouts. Clown Shoes used to excel at that but I haven't seen something new from them in quite awhile. MH seems to have picked up that mantle.
