Bomber at share. Near black pour with a thin creamy beige head. Big candy bar aroma, chocolate and coconut and vanilla. Taste is staight up Mounds bar, sweet and gooey. Not for diabetics.

 

 

 

22 oz bomber into a tulip glass

Yeah, this is a candy bar in a bottle. Sweet, but intentionally so and works for what they’re trying to do. Brewer’s description is spot on.

Jet black, oily brew yield wafts of toasted marshmallow and vanilla. Flavors are caramelly and cake-like...almost none of the inherent unsweetened cocoa and coffee notes of a conventional imperial stout. Penetrates and sticks to every crevice of the palate. Decadent AF.

Poured from can. Deep opaque brown. Very mild head on aggressive pour. Smell is marshmallow and chocolate. Flavor is heavy on the marshmallow with deep chocolate tones and some vanilla. WAY too sweet for me. Tried to power through the can through a whole evening and couldnt. Thick mouth feel.

 

Thank you snrubnivek for this
16 oz can poured into a tulip

A- Black with a small mocha head.

S- Chocolate, vanilla, some marshmallow, roasted coffee, coconut.

T- Vanilla, chocolate, coconut, some marshmallow, roasted coffee, some caramel malts, figs.

M- Smooth, full body.

O- Definitely on the sweet side but does have some coffee bitter to help balance it some. Big and tasty.

Good head production despite the sky-high ABV; decent retention.

Rich chocolatey nose, along with vanilla, notes of toast, and coconut. Touches of molasses and licorice.

Super rich and chocolatey on the palate. Vanilla, cream, marshmallow round out the main profile, while coconut adds an accent, growing on the back third. Additional notes of brown sugar, molasses, and toast. Absolutely dominated by milk chocolate.

Full bodied, thick, chewy; no hint of the sky-high ABV.

Black, not much head.

Vanilla, maybe coconut.

If I didn't know marshmallow I might have thought all vanilla. Otherwise, a bit like eating a stout soaked marshmallow. Some bitterness so it's not all pastry stout. Perhaps could be taken up a few notches after barrel aging.

Omnipollo-thick.

Pre-ordered this on a Wednesday after pre-ordering a bunch of other stuff on the previous Saturday. I’m a sucker for pastry stouts and this is right on point. Email description read, “This marvelously decadent imperial dessert-stout is loaded with chocolate malts, vegan marshmallow, coconut, & vanilla. The resulting profile explodes with big notes of marshmallow and vanilla, followed by toasted coconut and soft vanilla flavors that linger in the finish along with hints of fudge brownie and fig. If you’re looking to treat yourself, you’ve found your beverage.” I hear vegan marshmallows are the new rave.

Poured a pitch black color with 1-to-2 fingers of frothy tan head, which dissipated rather quickly. Could see a few bubbles coming up the sides of the glass. World-class foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.25)

Big time pastry stout on the smell. Got thick marshmallow, vanilla, malt chocolate, brownie batter, fudge, coconut, cinnamon, chocolate cake, cocoa, molasses, semi-char wood and lingering woody notes. No more additions from the can. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted even better than the nose. In order got coconut, sticky marshmallow, vanilla, malt chocolate, brownie batter, fudge, chocolate cake, cocoa, molasses, semi-char wood, dark fruit and hints of cinnamon. Alcohol is well-hidden for 13.3 pct. ABV. (Taste - 4.50)

Full body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Long, warming finish. (Feel - 4.50)

Just a world-class pastry stout. Glad I dropped down $13 for a can. (Overall - 4.50)

Sweet, marshmallow and chocolate nose on this one! Taste follows with a prominent marshmallow/vanilla vibe...hint of dark choco bitterness on the backend. This has great depth/feel! Great!
