Pint can - black pour with a substantial tan head that fades quickly - nose is heavy on espresso, chocolate, and rye malt - light undercurrents of smoke and red wine - flavor is fairly dry and moderately bitter - coffee is less apparent than in the nose, but the rye malt shines - red wine tannins late - coffee gets a little abrasive on the tail end, but still fairly solid - nice earthy malt.
