Kinda shocked at how nuanced and drinkable this pint comes across. Nice dark-roast coffee and bitter chocolate notes offset by hefty citrus and massive piney bitterness. Much more complex than you'd expect from a can with such a gimmicky (albeit clever) label. Not a trace of the 11% ABV in the feel. It's no Bivouac Black, but it's a solid BIPA.
