12 oz can from DC. Thanks Ashley! Pours a pitch black color with a large, thick tan head and great retention. A few small spots of lacing. Super dark roasted aroma. Flavors of dark roasted malt, bitter dark chocolate and faint dark coffee. Not sweet. Smooth, Semi-creamy mouthfeel. Medium body. Very good.
