16oz can poured into a shaker. This one was a gusher. Pours a lightly cloudy dark amber with a finger of off white head. Aroma of grapefruit and citrus. Taste is light bitter. Grapefruit and citrus with a little caramel. This can mau be past its prime though. Light bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. I would like to try a fresher can and rerate though.

16oz can picked up in Milwaukee. Pours a very attractive opaque brown-black body with a creamy beige head. A really solid coffee stout for sure, somewhat watery smooth black malt body with a pleasant coffee flavor. The bitterness, and most of the flavor is coffee derived..the smooth clean malt body really lets it shine. Well done, very pleasurable to drink.

Pour is a dark red with a average white head. Aroma is very sweet but has enough hops. Flavor is again sweet malts are the first thing I get. Some hops eventually show up. Very heavy and sweet with a bit of alcohol showing up. This was just ok.

Pour is a very dark brown. I thought I was given the wrong beer at first. Aroma is of slight spice with some hoppyness. Flavor again is of a slight but noticable rye malt with a slight hop. Definalty drinkable but nothing is jumping out at me.
