Can, from Vinyl Beer, Manhattan NYC (July 2025). Pours opaque dark brown with a large spongy tan head, chocolate-donut aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet chocolate-donut taste that turns medium bitter with cocoa nibs flavor, alcohol undertones, smooth thin body, long medium bitter finish with alcohol aftertaste. Strong and tasty, but alcohol escapes a bit.

Well that’s a great way to end this badge.
