Week old pint can A: Poured thick sludgy brown black with barely any head or retention. S: Fresh roast coffee and strong toasted bread. A little sweet cocoa. T: Again, strong fresh coffee leads, including a faint tart berry note with some bitter chocolate, roast grains and wood fading at the end. M: Subtle but active carbonation, medium full body, slick texture and drying finish. O: Good taste, great aroma and low sweetness make this a hit with me, though overall I'd prefer the Premium Roast, which it replaces.
