16 oz can shared by tfontana. Aroma is cinnamon, burnt grain, chocolate. Flavor is pretty much a copy with the addition of some bitter coffee. Nice dry texture. Decent.

Undated can drunk 7/22/23. Clear dark brown. Tan head quickly to ring. Violet tints in the beer Dark roast, vanilla, beany and chocolatey. Sweet malt but doesn't seem sugary. No booze. Very dry and light for its size but not watery. Great cherry, chocolate, vanilla, fruity coffee, great attenuation. Yeah this is a lighter one, but the flavors are killer and it's not dominated by the coffee. No booze.

Can pour from the brewery. It's a virtually opaque dark brown with ring of head. Aroma is strong roasted coffee, cinnamon, lighter vanilla. Taste is strong vanilla, cinnamon over coffee, lighter chocolate. Mouthfeel is smooth but body is light-to-medium bodied. Coffee is muted in the flavor. Seems more like a Mexican stout (minus the peppers). OK.

Can from the brewery, drunk 3/11/23. Heavily hazy to turbid, bronze golden. Small, white head, moderate retention. Juicy, fruity, cranberry, clementine, orange juice and vanilla with biscuit and soft, white bread. Dont get the big bitterness that Chris is talking about. Juicy, soft, malty, well-attenuated. Pretty well-done. Lingering juice.

16 oz. can in a trade with ClarkVV, thank you! Aroma shows zesty orange, grapefruit. Flavor shows the orange and the grapefruit with a harsh bitter, grapefruit rind. I don’t dislike it. It just shows a sharper then normal bitterness.
