Grabbed a can of this, a bunch of other stouts, some pilsners and some lagers on a recent work trip to Fort Collins, Colo. The Untappd description was “Imperial Stout with milk sugar, Ghana cocoa husks, sea salt and real peanut flour.”

Poured a pitch-black color with 7-to-8 fingers of rocky khaki-tan head. Damn smooth setting underneath the head. Decent water lacing. Average retention. (Sight - 3.50)

Smelled oatmeal cookie, black coffee, bark, cocoa, milk chocolate and peanuts. Much better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted even better than the nose. Really smooth. Got peanut butter, black coffee, oatmeal cookie, bark, dark cocoa, milk chocolate and toasted peanut. (Taste - 4.00)

Full body. Creamy texture. Average-to-soft carbonation. Long, roasty finish. (Feel - 4.00)

Was happy to get the chance to try this beer. Really liked it. (Overall - 4.00)
