First of all, keep the can out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it'll kill him. Second, don't give him any imperial stout, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how hard he cries, no matter how much he begs, never drink him after midnight.

Pours a deep dark-brown color with a medium top of beige head that dissolves quickly. Aroma is of roasted malts, cocoa, dark chocolate, nuts, cardamom, ginger, vanilla and coffee.
The taste is sweet and roasted at the start with nice notes of roasted malts, dark bitter chocolate and cocoa. The flavour quickly gets a lot of spicy tones. I sense vanilla, cardamom and ginger as well as a salty flavour that goes very well with the other flavours. The finish has some slight bitterness and leaves a long and strong aftertaste. Mouthfeel is oily and creamy with a medium carbonation and a full body.
An awesome example of a imperial stout. So enjoyable.

A great gift from Erlend. 12oz can. 10% ABV. Brewed with malted barley, malted wheat, flaked oats, lactose, "natural aromas" and nuts. An odd can, the whole top lid comes off.
Pours out to a very thick viscous inky black, forming a modest tan head with minimal retention and sparse lacing. Carbonation is a bit low, ~2.0 carbs or so. The nose is super rich...lots of sweet chocolate, candied pecans, vanilla, black walnut, carob balls. The mouthfeel is viscous and syrupy with a dense body, a bit warming. The taste is a recap of the aroma. Lots of chocolate up front, sweet, with very mild earthy bitterness. Indeed it does taste a little salty and a bit nutty. I also get some interesting flashes of mint in the aftertaste. Overall quite sweet, I suspect some back sweetening here. Super rich. No off flavors or aromas.
A super intense tasty treat. May thanks to Erlend for bringing this over from Norway. Worth trying if you can find it.

Black as Night with almost no head..
Smells cinnamon, coffee, raisins, maple syrup, alcohol and sweet liquirice.
Taste of dark bitter chocolate, coffee, slightly salty.
Good heavy mouthfeel with some bitterness to it and a dry finish.
Nice beer from Cervisiam and a great reference to both Gremlins and South Park.
