Can. Opens with a pretty big pffft of air. Opaque dark brown beer with a suspiciously large tan head. Airy fluffy palate, decent fine carbonation. Fairly dry and thin dark malts. Some decent dark malt cream. Things go downhill for me. Tonka and honey are obvious and they don't do anything for each other. Light semi dry finish. Bleh. There is nothing wrong with the brewing but the flavours chosen are really grating for me.
