L: Poured from a tallboy can to a pint glass. Had a deep, dark brown color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a thin, tan-colored, foamy head that quickly dissipated. Not a whole lot of lacing, though.
S: A very enticing aroma of coffee, chocolate, malt, vanilla, and cream.
T: Tasted of a decent amount of malt (present throughout, though subtle), a good shot of coffee (just enough; a warm presence), a good shot of vanilla (kind of sweet; more than expected), some cream notes, and a decent amount of chocolate (always nice to have). This is a big, warm, easy to like flavor. Very tasty.
F: An average amount of carbonation with a super smooth finish. Medium- to full-bodied.
O: An extremely likable, well made stout. Drinkable.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a snifter glass.
L - Pours a dark brown, almost black color, with a slight tan head.
S - Smells of a coffee roastiness, with some vanilla and chocolate.
T - Taste matches the smell, I’m getting a nice coffee flavor, with some sweetness from the vanilla on the finish.
F - This stout is full bodied, really creamy, with minimal carbonation.
O - For a 10 % stout, it really seems to hide the alcohol well. Very enjoyable, and I didn’t find it overly sweet.
