Undated can, I think fairly old (6-12 months), from the shelf at Fort Point Market, drunk 8/31/22. Ebony, undetermined clarity. Tan head immediately fizzles to edge. Fudge, alcohol, coffee-like roast and, thankfully, minimal coconut. Worried how much black licorice and dry, alcohol-like character there is (though conversely, it's not a sugar bomb, it seems). Indeed, not too sweet. Dry up front with cherry-chocolate, fudge and caramel turning to fruity cacao and coconut and gaining some rich, sticky sweetness. Nothing jumping out dominantly here, nor does it come off alcoholic or too sharp/dry at any points in the flavor. Lingering cacao, fudge and caramel. I suspect this having been brewed at 12 Percent goes a long way to its quality, as opposed to most that are contracted out of Dorchester. But I still have to test that hypotheses.
