Pint can from Beer Run, 2/11/21. Black, thin brown head, good retention. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, cinnamon, hints of pepper. Taste is chocolate, cherry, roast, cinnamon, hints of pepper. The habenero is there but very mild, which I appreciate. Not a hot beer at all. A bit thin for the style. Overall very nice.
