Can from a brother: pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma is cinnamon and nutmeg, chocolate. Taste moderately bitter and very spicy. Coffee has about as much taste as wawa coffee which is not all that much.

16oz can pours a rootbeer brown with some khaki head that faded quick.  Nose has all those baking spices, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, lots of toasted grains, burnt cracker, some Tootsie Roll.  Flavor has some soggy pumpernickel bread, a more of that toasted grain, the coffee shows up and I'm surprised I never noted it in the flavor, the baking spices are all there with some baker's chocolate to boot.  I didn't read ginger anywhere, but I wouldn't complain about that.  Finishes dry with the spices.  8 3 7 3 13
