The can says 16%, since that's what they were shooting for. Supposedly after testing, it actually came out around 19%. Whiskey, rye spiciness, and coffee notes in the aroma. Taste has chocolate, smooth whiskey, a little bit of rye spiciness and coffee. This has an incredibly smooth mouthfeel, amazingly well hidden booze, a full body and low carbonation. High 4.75/5 For being 16% (or more), the booze is almost non-existent. Just an amazing stout and, honestly, if the whiskey flavor was more pronounced, I'd give this 5 stars
