We've left out the mint to create an Original Dodge, Dunk, Dip Imperial Stout. Chocolate sandwich cookie additions make this stout a chocolate cookie lover’s dream. The base is a chewy dessert-like stout with cacao powder and lactose sugar sprinkled on top. To garnish the glass, we added a grocery cart full of chocolate cookie crumbles for a simply nostalgic experience. Lactose and Madagascar Vanilla create the cream filling center. Contains lactose.

Pours a moderately viscous reddish dark brown with a creamy head. Aroma of milk chocolate, banana, cream and vanilla. Sweetness up front with chocolate followed by a slightly roasty flavor and vanilla. Moderate mouthfeel with very fine carbonation. Overall, very good, but a wee bit sweet, but not off putting!

In adding their Clear & Convenient IPA, I was doing my due diligence & researching their site for Notes & other background when I came across some intriguing beers that they had on offer. As a PA resident, I was eligible to have some shipped to me & while I did not want a buncha four (4)-packs, I was happy to buy some crowlers. This one was available as a Crowler while its CANterpart, Mint Cookie, came as a four-pack of CANs, all for The CANQuest (tm). This one first, then the MInt Cookie variant. Mmm.
From the Crowler/CAN: "Dodge, Dunk, Dip Imperial Sandwich Cookie Stout".
I beCAN with a Crack! of the massive vent which revealed the brewery's generosity as I got a fingertip spritz due to it being a brimful Crowler! I quickly CANtinued with a C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass & watched in rapt fascination as a pseudo-cascade ocCANurred. 8=O This led to the formation of two-plus fingers of dense, creamy, foamy, deep-tan/light-brown head with excellent retention. Color was Very Dark Brown to Black/Opaque (SRM = > 34, < 44) with cola highlights at the edges. Nose was sweet, akin to a Milk Stout, but that would be an imprecise CANparison. There was much more to this than simply the addition of Lactose. It had a cookie-like sweetness acCANponied by a coffee & cream quality. It reminded me of sitting in my maternal grandparents' kitchen, dunking cookies in PapPap coffee - more evaporated/CANdensed milk than coffee, which is how he liked it. Mouthfeel was appropriately big, full & creamy, like a dollop had been scooped into my mouth & onto my tongue. The taste, while still of cookies, coffee & cream, also evinced a booziness that went to show that these Imperial Stouts CAN't CANpletely mask their alcohol. It was not a problem, but it did bear mentioning. It was like an Imperial Sweet/Milk Stout, which was an interesting CANbination. I have said repeatedly that I am not a big fan of sweets in any form, but this was not overly or cloyingly sweet. This leads me to its finish. I am going to characterize it as semi-sweet to sweet since it did have that coffee-like slight bitterness that kept it from being full-on sweet. YMMV.
