Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying tan or perhaps light brown coloured head with no real movement. Aroma of rich hazelnuts, brewed coffee, deep milk chocolate along with a dash of earth, peat and a healthy hand of toasted malts - very nice in the nose. Medium-bodied; Super pungent flavour of brewed coffee, strong hazelnuts with almonds and walnuts with a lot of milk chocolate and lactose as well, but the malt and robust body shows the strongest, in a great way. Aftertaste shows the pungent grain and earthiness with a lot of nutty qualities along with a bunch of sweetness from nuts, chocolate and caramelised sugars, but the coffee shows very nicely at the end. Overall, a very nice, balanced and incredibly flavourful (compared to the alcohol content) beer for the style and overall. Great to sample before heading back out to the MidWest, this time to South Dakota for the first time in my (or my wife/kids as well) life! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Hy-Vee [grocery] in Lincoln, Nebraska on 20-January-2020 for US$1,67 sampled at my house here in Washington before heading back out West on 23-June-2020.
