Can at share. Near black pour, thin beige head. Aroma is sweet, mixing vanilla and chocolate, maple. Taste brings a light roasty malt presence, with plenty more of the sugary "toppings": cocoa, vanilla, marshamallow, coconut. Sticky and sweet.

Can courtesy of NolaHopHead.
Roughly 4 months old.
Look: very dark almost black, minimal dark brown head. Minimal carbonation.
Smell: sugary! Little musty, dissipates as it warms. Graham crackers. Chocolate. Vanilla. Coconut.
Taste: chocolate liqueur, s’mores, coconut, tootsie rolls, maple syrup, bread.
Medium-thick mouthfeel. Fairly low booze presence.
Overall: Not a big lover of these over the top pastry stouts, but this is well executed. Enjoyable.

Dark black body, one finger mocha head. Wow. The coconut and maple run amok in a good and delicious way. Thick body, sweet maple, chocolate fudge, brown sugar. Sweet, but not offensively so.

Pours out like used motor oil with a thin brown head on top. The smell of the beer basically hits on every part of the description, Maple, Graham Cracker, Marshmallow and Chocolate all in there working in harmony. The flavors follow suit to the nose, every flavor you'd expect comes through with excellent balance. The feel is nice and rich as expected from something like this. Overall this is an outstanding beer.

16oz can from fridge. Start from 48F. Black oil small chestnut head. Half a can pour. At first smells like Cordial Cherry filled with maple syrup. 54F. A lot of notes hazelnut whiskey bourbon chocolate vanilla cherry nutella cookies honey oak baked marshmallow brown 64F sugar preserve Hot going (buzzy) warm spices sweet sour bitterly cake pastry cinnamon powder cream... 65F Well, I think you understand this whole complex In this Stout... 66F dark chocolate nutty.
"Heavy metal" viscous stout. Very well made. Dessert in a can. Coconut lost in the complex. Full body. Simple pleasure to drink (eat) this stout! My sweet tooth is satisfied! 67Fahrenheit and continues to warm up to feel all tastes
Cheers.

Hey now. Did this gator eat a damn birthday cake? Cuz this one is large and in charge like George Burns’ 100th birthday. I mean, hell yeah like Orson Welles playing a dirty cop - I like that.

What I suggest is that you get it, and that you get it good.
