22oz bomber poured in a tulip. Smells like chocolate, dark malts. Tastes of chocolate, cinnamon, dark roasted malts and horchata. Nice smooth, creamy mouthfeel. This is an overall sweet and decent imperial stout.

Very dark brown with three fingers of light brown head that lasts about ten minutes. Good amount of lace.
Smell is mostly sweet horchata. Some molasses.
Taste is sweet horchata with molasses. Some coffee bitterness.
Mouthfeel is full with adequete carbonation. Finish is sweet and lightly dry.
Overall a tasty brew if you like sweet stouts.

Pours black with a finger of khaki head foaming on top. Fair head retention with a few strands of lacing left behind. Aroma is lactose, and cocoa with roasted and toasted malts. Flavor profile is a smooth, flowing show of lactose, cocoa, and vanilla bean notes. Roasted and toasted malts add a supportive flavor to the horchata flavor profile. Mouth feel is smooth, and creamy, with a medium-thick filling. Overall, an incredibly smooth stout that doesn't batter the tongue with flavors. It drinks smooth and easy, and yet still provides a wonderful display of flavors. Well done.
Served in a 12oz snifter from a 22oz bottle.
