Rating #9700!!! Super deep and oily brown and deep dark, almost back coloured body with a crazy velvety and oily top with a nice sheen on it, with a thinnish, single centimetre tall deep brown head on top. Aroma of roasted malt, alcohol, pistachios, rich baklava and vanilla with some canolli, ricotta cheese and pungent icing sugar here as well - super strong in the nose and full of deep notes, with the roasted malt by far the strongest. Full-bodied; Super rich flavour of pistachios, nuts, roasted malt, vanilla, lactose, cream, alcohol, oak, cedar, raisins, figs, grain and some more sweetness - from filled canolli, seemingly, with a lot of pungency throughout, but the rich flavours strike very strongly near the end. Aftertaste shows a lot of sugars and especially vanilla notes at the end, with a complex and definite dessert-based finish here with some nutty and malty richness, but the alcohol, icing sugar and lactose flavours are strong and pungent, even after this time in the can. Overall, a very nice, super pungent and sweet, rich, nutty, earthy and especially lactosey, bitter beer with a good balance, with rich flavours on every side and a complexity from the sugars that hits nicely, especially at the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 22-June-2019 for US$7,99, sampled at my house here in Washington on 27-November-2022, a day after returning from the same area, after spending Thanksgiving in the state of ConnectICut.
