Black in color and impenetrable to light. There's a quarter inch thick dense and creamy dark brown cap of foam present. The aroma is deeply bitter and foreboding black coffee and toasted oats. I'm tasting a very bitter dark roasted coffee that is rounded out by the sweet oats. The oats also give this beer a creamy and silky texture especially considering the 9.4% ABV.

Poured dark silky from the can.
Smell was pleasant, mostly coffee.
Taste includes a chocolatey creamieness that comes right behind the coffee, almost like a mocha flavored espresso. The oatmeal provides such a delicious rich and creamie layer.
Feel is lighter than expected, which means I'll drink more.
Overall a fabulous easy to drink coffee stout. Gonna pair with Hoisin Duck next time.

Pours pitch black with a small khaki head that fades to a thin but dense layer of foam.
Nose is fresh coffee, cocoa, and raisins
Taste follows nose with coffee dominating, a warming alcohol presence, with dark chocolate and raisin on the finish.
Feel is thick, chewy, and creamy.
Overall a very solid coffee stout. The creamy feel sets it apart from similar offerings.

Pours a dark shiny black color. Thick tan head dissipates over time leaving just a ring of tan foam along the outside of the beer. No lacing.
Smell has notes of coffee, roasted malts, cocoa, coffee grinds, and oats.
Taste follows the nose with lots of coffee and coffee grind flavors coming through. Coffee is on the acidic side. Lots of roasted malts and an oatmeal cookie like flavor. Undertones of cocoa and a mild chocolate sweetness come through as well. Picking up a bit of a bitter flavor on the back end, but that seems to be from the acidic coffee and not hops.
Feel is incredibly smooth and creamy. Medium bodied - thinner for an imperial stout, but I wouldn't call it watery. Mild to medium carbonation.
Overall this is a well done coffee stout. However, there are so many well done coffee stouts now-a-days that this one frankly just doesn't stand out like it used too. Still its an outstanding beer and well worth drinking.

L: Wow this is a beautiful looking beer. Poured into a snifter and its dark black with a good size tan head that holds for a little while.
S: Strong coffee scent and then some sweeter things like chocolate and maybe a hint of molasses.
T: Once again a strong coffee taste and followed by a sweeter something, aftertaste is just like a cup of coffee (acidic and bitter, but not in a bad way)
F: This is the only part I am not completely loving, its a little on the light side of oatmeal stouts and my personal taste is for stuff to be really thick.
O: Really excellent oatmeal stout, except a little ding on the feel. This being my favorite beer style I am picky with these and I would definitely want this again.

look: Dark black color. Creamy white head.
Aroma is strong coffee, sugar, molasses.
Taste is strong coffee, some chocolate. Vinegar like after taste.
Medium carb. Some thick syrupy feel.
Pretty good, but no FBS. Peripherals are excellent, but taste brings it down to earth.

Can to Snifter.
I agree with the previous assessment. It's a well crafted brew. The sourish vinegar-like and acidic aftertaste knocks it down from what could be top end excellence.

Side by side with Rise-n-Shine. The barrel aged beer is decidedly superior.
