Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, three centimetre tall deep tan head with an 90% opaque deep brown glow. Aroma of strong chocolate, cocoa, rye, roasted malt, coffee, earth, nuts and a big deal of cherries and lactose - nice and pungent throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong chocolate, earthy and nutty flavours with a lot of rye/grain and malt noticeable near the end, all with a lot of alcohol pungency, cocoa and malt with some sugars at the tail end. Aftertaste shows a lot of chocolate, coffee, earth and especially nuts with some assertive alcohol still around. Overall, a nice, very rich beer, especially in a can with a complex flavour - nice to sample! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 02-April-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 02-September-2016.

22oz bottle pours a hazy yellow with some cloudy, white head. Nose is weird, buttery, lemony, a little passion fruit. Flavor is even more buttery, passion fruit, yogurt, lemon. Oily finish.
