Deep black body with a small brown head becoming a ring around the glass. Lots of lacing and foam is sticking to the glass.
Nose: A lot of chocolate, like a brownies, small hint of booze, very oaky. You can tell this is complex just by the nose and you just want to take the time to smell it enough but you just can't stop.
Taste as intended is astonishing, chocolate all over the place, light bitterness, light to medium sweetness, oak.
Mouthfeel is something like I've never tasted before, it's wrapping all over your mouth with one sip you can't keep tasting it for a long time. Smooth and thick, full bodied.

You just can't get enough of it, worth the hype, worth is title of one of the best Imperial Stout without adjunct out there. Thank you Perennial for this madness.

2017 bottle. Great adjunct free ba stout. Picked up chocolate and dark fruit sweetness. Very balanced though, unlike purple Assassin that is all sweet dark fruit.
