Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma has a burnt note, umami. It's similar on the palate, with some molasses accents, lots of bitterness. This doesn't come across as being refined, but there's a lot of big, fun flavours here as well. I'm down.

Can from Beer52. Pours black with moderate sized beige head, nice retention. Hoppy citric zest aroma with some roasted malt and pine. Not sure what the difference is between an American Stout and a Black IPA but not much going by aroma. Taste is also quite citric and pine noted before the roasted element comes in, some coffee, not picking up chocolate mentioned on the can, herbal-roasted bitter finish. Medium+ bodied, fine carbonation, semi-drying. Good.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg July 24, 2023; bb April 24, 2024). Dark brown with small beige head. Aroma shows weird fruity citrus hops, taste is more predominantly roasty malt with some of those fruity notes in the background. Just okay.

On tap at Far Away Bar, pours black with a medium brown head. Aroma is full of dry oats, dry cocoa, and earthy notes. Flavour is dry, with plenty of hearty oats, dry cocoa, and earthiness. Lots of dry oats, with subtle coffee, and bitter dry cocoa. Nothing amazing but by the books and competent. Decent.

On tap at El Honesto Mike - Lavaria, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of roasted malt, black liquorice, and plenty of woody hops. Flavour is full throttle, with tons of roasted malt and a big woody hop presence. Great balance, with that dry, roasty, woody finish. Excellent.
