It pours more or less like a big stout should. Poured pretty aggressively to generate a half inch of khaki foam that leaves a small island. It looks dang near flat, but has some "legs".
The smell is nowhere near as riotous as all the ingredients would imply. It is a couple months old, so maybe it has mellowed and come together. It sure has everything stated, but not in an overwhelming manner. It's actually pretty soft, kind of a chocolate raspberry truffle aroma with the toasted coconut along for the ride. So far so good.
If there are high marks to be had, then this beer gets them for nailing the brewer's intent. It delivers EXACTLY what the write up says it will. Take a chocolate raspberry truffle, squash it between two toasted coconut macaroons, dip it in French vanilla coffee for a second - pretty much how it rolls. I get some other dark fruit flavor in the background, so the imperial stout base is there but integrated into the entirety. Sweet, very slight bitterness. No hint of alcohol on the nose or in the taste.
Not thick, a little creamy, eventually a little dry, yet leaves a bit of stickiness on the lips. Nice warmth from the otherwise well hidden 11% ABV. It's mellow.
I have to say I am liking this beer quite a bit. Definitely hits the bull's eye for what Proclamation intended to deliver. Is it up there with KBS variants...not really but it's gettin' there. Is it showing enough of the imperial stout? Hmmm... The thing is I really dig the flavors and how it all works and I think if it were more "stouty" it wouldn't work as well with these flavors.
