THIS IS FROM A SIDE BY SIDE TEST OF THE SAME BEER, ONE BEING IN THE BOTTLE AND ONE IN A NITRO CAN

Head is very fine and about a finger thick. It lasts longer than the drink. Almost static and clings a lot better than the non-nitro bottle.

The smell of the canned is dissapointing compared to the bottle. Reminded me of nitro-Guinness. A little planer.

Though there IS a difference, this being more flavorfull and complex, he flavor is the same as the smell: Guinness-like to my senses. Very dissapointing. It lost a zing that the bottled version has. Seems to be hidden behind the upfront effects of the nitro widget.

mouthfeel is better here: very smooth on the tongue and mouth.

Drinkability not as high as the bottled version, but a good beer.

I am extremely fond of desserts and have a major sweet tooth, which is why this beer fascinated me from the very beginning. The aroma is surely chocolate and coffee, sounds delicious! The flavours are also pretty sweet, chocolatey and a bit of licorice. I am looking forward to using this when I whip up my next chocolate based dessert!

Serving type: can
