No canning date; consumed on 10/16/21
Pours a stark midnight-black body with slight caramel hues near the surface and topped with a finger and a half of creamy, dark khaki foam; good head retention yields a spotty, paper-thin cap, a moderate, frothy collar, and haphazard dispersal of thin, webby lacing holding tightly to the walls of the glass.
Aroma is dominated by fresh coffee sporting a moderate roast and accented by cocoa husk; toasted malts soften to suggestions of black bread crusts towards a consistently surging mineralic, earthy coffee ground undertone on the close.
Taste profile shows coffee informing all aspects; from roasty chocolate upfront to creamy nuttiness over the mid-palate and burnt cocoa on the back end, fresh, bittersweet coffee accents; lingering through the finish are distant hints of residual vanilla and an ashy char.
Mouthfeel brings a medium-light body paired with a fluffy, moderate-high carbonation; a light roast informs a mild, charry bitterness ovwr the mid-palate, with creaminess interspersed as textures thin to a more tentative structure in the back end.
Coffee expresses so freshly it wavers between lazy and near-perfect integration, ultimately settling into a form of ultra-prominence, coursing through every aspect of this stout to an almost excessive indulgence of the adjunct.

750ml growler being drank out of a Brew Gentlemen Doublemex glass....
Look: Pours a jet black color with an awesome dark mocha tan head! Lacing is present with decent retention for a stout!
Smell: This is a coffee bomb on the aroma along with some bitterness and chocolate notes as well!
Taste: Taste pretty much follows the nose! Killer coffee notes on the taste! Some booziness and bitterness is present but this is a great coffee stout!
Feel: Medium to full bodied!
Overall: This is one of the best stouts that Brew Gentlemen has put out to date and this is one of the best imperial coffee stouts I have had to date! Hope to see this one in some barrels or some variants of this one in the future!
