Can @ Sunrise/Sunset, Brooklyn. Pours opaque dark brown with a large spongy tan head, faint roasted malt aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter mocha-caramel taste with dried dark fruits, smooth thin body, long roasted malt finish. I honestly expected richer flavor.

Draught @ Dive Bar 96th, Manhattan. Clear light amber-copper with a foamy beige head, floral caramel aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste with nutmeg, clover, thin body, long spicy finish. Nice and smooth winter warmer, though a bit weak.

16 ounce can At District Tap House in NYC. Jet black pour leaves incredible lacing. Roasted malt nose hints at coffee and cocoa. Flavor upfront is roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice and treacle. Lots of bitter hops balance this nicely. Tasty.

Canned 9/28/22, drunk 1/15/23. Clear dark brown, light tan head slowly fades to cover/ring. Ashy, but also a bit cidery? Guess that's just the roast but it's a bit odd and seems sourish. In the mouth it's a bit cidery indeed with sourish, very bitter, seemingly old/spoiled roasted character. I dont know. Chris didnt seem to be bothered by it. Maybe I'm just thrown off by the lack of sugar, bourbon and adjunct. Texture is fine with an oily, medium, well-attenuated body. No alcohol. Getting a lot of soapy bitterness.

16 oz. can shared by ClarkVV. Aroma of vanilla, roasted barley, char. Flavor is a reflection of aroma. Mouthfeel and body are correct. A nice standard stout.
