Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 4/29/20. Pours pitch black with a 3 finger sticky light brown head that leaves some thin wisps of lace as it slowly settles. 4.5

Smell cherry vanilla, chocolate, slightly woody, toffee, and a hint of booze, not over the top at all but present for me. 4

Taste follows cherry, chocolate, oaky vanilla, toffee, and a little alcohol lingers for a bit after each sip. 4

Mouthfeel is bigger than average, soft gentle carbonation, a touch dry, and at 11.1% it drinks maybe a little bigger, but still goes down easy enough. 4

Overall this is a really made imperial stout that I would gladly revisit if given the opportunity. Thanks Jeff @jzeilinger for this can my friend. 4

A - Dark brown pour with toffee colored thin lacing.

S - Nose is full of chocolate char with a faint hit of cherries.

T - Chocolate, light char, and very faint cherry. Nice long lingering

M - Big medium body and bone dry on the tongue.

O - Nice chocolate char and more on the mellow side as opposed to bold.
