16 ounce can. Opaque brown pour. Small frothy khaki head. Sweet toasted malt aroma is redolent of milk chocolate. Flavor brings notes of roasted malt, chocolate and vanilla. Description says it tastes like brownie batter and I agree. 11% ABV is well hidden. A bit of herbal notes in the sweet malty finish.

16 oz can from Icarus, via delivery, 1/5/21. Icarus rating #60. I don't have the Last Wave Brut IPA version, so I guess I'll just have to drink it without the pouring together thing. It pours a deep brown color with a ring of light brown head. It's mostly dark chocolate on the aroma and flavor. Smooth, rich, and full bodied. Solid beer. It is missing something, but I can't quite put my finger on what.
