Can (2/26/20) pour from Worldwide Wine & Spirits. Appearance is opaque black with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width crackling light brown foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is, pardon the expression, decadent mix of roasted malt, coffee, lactose and chocolate. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, moderately thick texture with soft carbonation and finish as taste with lasting roasted bitterness. Overall, pretty much as advertised with a little surprise with the roasty coffee quality but well executed. Perhaps a tad light in the body.
