Canned January 13th, printed clearly on the paper label.
A: Looks pretty black to me, initial abundance of tan foam but that leaves the scene in what seems like the blink of an eye.
S: Toasted oat, roasted malt, sweetish milky notes that remind me of a Milk Stout.
T: Exactly the same for the taste. No surprises either bad or good.
M: Medium bodied, could use a tad more carbonation, imho.
O: A couple of weak points, as I mentioned, but overall, satisfying and

Tap at Fools Gold, NY. As "Peppercon". Hazy orange color, small steady head. Overriped fruits, peppery spiceyness in the nose. Medium-bodied. Riped fruityness, mango, a bit wheaty. Light spiceyness in the finish. Ok, but lacks something.
