Wow
Smells like candy and tastes like it too. Little too heavy on the strawberry initially but the aftertaste is fantastic. Thick and mouth coating.

I'm glad I bought it but at the price I probably wouldn't buy it again for myself. But I will buy one more just to share

By the way, it's a small can.... But it's definitely a slow drinker

 

Thick pour from the small 11.2oz can, viscous and opaque, but the mocha head sticks around like a nitro pour, pretty interesting at this abv. Smacks of sweetness with plenty of milk sugars, coconut, and sweet berries, along with chocolate and vanilla...I don't really get the coffee, which is disappointing as I think that would cut through some of the cloying body on this one. Also, the strawberry is just too much, its over the top sweet and syrupy.

This one gets great scores I see, just not sure it works for me. Took me about three hours of sipping to finish.

 

11.2 oz stubby boi.

The pour is jet black with a small mocha head. The head fades quickly, leaving a few bits of splotchy lacing.

The aroma brings strong notes of neopolitan ice cream, fresh strawberries, coconut and chocolate syrup. Very faint coffee.

The flavor bombards the palate with tart strawberries, followed by waves of vanilla and almond joy candy.

The feel is the thickness. It's basically syrup. Almost no carbonation whatsoever.

Overall, this is a smoothie sour in imperial stout form. In that regard, it excels; It's thick and cloying and tart, like my underwear. The serving size is pretty much perfect, price notwithstanding.

 

Insanely coating, full bodied and delicious dessert stout, lots of strawberry character and for me, the only knock is the excessively tart nature of the strawberries, in much the same way you get a pack of them and they’re often lacking in sweetness. This beer doesn’t lack for sweetness but it’s also assertively tart and that throws off the balance just a smidge. Still it’s immensely enjoyable and the smaller can (8oz?) is the perfect serving size for one.

Taking a long stroll along the path of aburdity, Omnipollo brewers are doubling down on malt, savory character and and strawberries for a taste that's all so very real.

Cake News doesn't exactly pour, it rather crawls out of the brightly colored can and nestles patiently into the glass. Inky, viscous and tar-like, the ominously black beer releases a dense and deep mocha creme before taunting the nose with heavily sweet roast, savory maple, cream and stewed strawberries. Even sweeter to taste, the comparisons to blackstrap molasses, fudge and strawberry glaze isn't far off.

Sweet and premier in its savory taste, the highly cloying stout makes its dessert marks early on the middle palate as each and every tastebuds is saturated in cake batter, vanilla cream, marshmallow, syrup and fudgy espresso bean. Milkshake-like in its consistency, the beer continues a sugary, sweet and yet a savory tone through its finish with bold impressions of port, sherry, madiera and a pep of strawberry infused soy sauce.

Saying it's full bodied is laughable. It's cakey textures and strong simmering booze has the beer seemingly bourbon barrel aged as its coconut and vanilla-like flavors only add to the sweetness and savoriness. A long aftertaste has the beer seeming about as unrelenting as peanut butter on the roof of your mouth.

Pours deep back leaving a tan head. Drinking has a thick feel. Taste is smooth like a thicker chocolate milk, then the strawberry taste hints/peeks itself into existence. Afterward the strawberry takes over the flavor. Great stout!

A - Dark brown pour that has a dense sub-layer of brownish red when held to the light. Lots of legs on the sides of the glass with a strawberry toffee colored lacing.

S - Coconut, alcohol, toasted chocolate, some caramel on the nose, and some alcohol.

T - Strawberry is not so much on the nose but comes through on the palate along with toasted chocolate, coconut, and alcohol on the back end.

M - Thick, viscous, lip smacking sticky, and warming in the back of the throat.

O - This is a really fantastic under the radar Imperial Stout worth checking out.
