It leaves the can like motor oil and has a chocolate head, moderate in size. Aroma has crisp coffee. Indeed the texture is heavy, has a very easy going creaminess and isn't sticky at all. Plenty of flavor. The can only mentions coffee and almonds but the dominant flavor is definitely a dark milk chocolate. The coffee becomes a little more apparent toward the middle but in a very modest way. Still searching for the almonds but I can't find them. The velvety texture is still it's defining quality. Not a complicated or evolving flavor. Pretty simple actually. Definitely a dessert Stout which I love.
