Nice burnt umber color with white cap.
Very pleasant aroma of caramel, toffee and white chocolate.
Taste on entry is a sweetish mix of rich caramel, white chocolate and a touch of vanilla. Good flavors but that's about it, somewhat simple brew but easy to drink.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
A competently made brew in whatever style a White Russian Imperial Stout is. I gave the last few ounces to our resident Guinness fan to get his take on this white stout and he said, "tastes like a frappuccino with vanilla" and since he and the plus one are diehard Starbucks types I'll take his word for it.

12 oz can purchased from Jackson, MS into Calusa Snifter.
Pours a burnt orange/honey color with a white fuzzy/frothy head of 1 finger. Nice lacing sticks to the glass.
Tons of honey and clean cold coffee on the nose; slight chocolate, and slight acidic pepper.
I'm gonna revise this because I'm having it for the second time now. Flavor is still different from anything else I've ever experienced. Nice vanilla cookie and some Tone's caramel syrup. Slight vanilla wafer. Lots of earthy and piney hop presence. Cold brewed coffee. Vanilla bean. More earth. Still there's a nice dessert aspect to it.
Feel is very carbonated, way too carbonated for a Russian Imperial Stout but I will cut it some slack because of the "white" element.
Overall, I can see what they were going for here. It comes across a bit too piney/earthy but it's not overwhelming. I bumped my score up because the 2nd can was better than the first. Interesting white mocha russian stout with large piney dank hops.

How is this a Russian Imperial Stout ? Stout by definition is a strong, dark beer brewed with roasted malt or barley.

Not what I was expecting but in a good way. It’s a tasty beer with vanilla and chocolate notes. The only thing that threw me off was the color. I’m not sure this is a RIS but whatever. It’s a nice beer
