Imperial stout with roasted sweet potatoes, marshmallows, pecans, cinnamon, and lactose. Sitting at 10% abv this stout shines with a thick mouthfeel and roasted backbone accompanied but not outshined by the adjuncts.

Throwing Yams was released in Nov. 2021 only at the SoPro Taproom in pint can 4-pks. and on draft. Had poured from pint can, no date, into nonic pint.
Pours absolutely black with 1- to 2-finger dark-tan head, with good retention, but leaving only a few specks of lace. Aroma of sweet lactose and dark roast malts off pour, then marshmallow, dark fruits, vegetal (sweet potato) and (a hint of) cinnamon aromas, and finally pecans and roasted malts join the subtle aromatic symphony. On drinking, it's all moderate roast malts to start, with marshmallow sweetness and dark fruits following, over a lactose, yam and marshmallow thick, full, creamy and sticky mouthfeel, which is relieved by a biting, even spicy, finish.
Despite (or because of) the unique additions, this imperial stout does not slip into dessert stout territory, but remains a big but balanced vegetarian (but not vegan) imperial stout meal in a glass. P.S. Not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I am of this beer.
