This beer pours a beautiful pitch black. The head is a nice brown, frothy, and 2 finger. Nice lacing on the glass.
The nose has got notes of coffee, chocolate, vanilla. Such a rich deep aroma.
The taste is very rich with the notes described above. Some bitterness on the backside. Coffee forward for sure, but all the flavors mesh well.
Not too bad, feel wise, but a bit more watery feeling than I would have expected.
Overall, this is a darn delicious stout. The flavors mesh so well together.

Had this on tap in a snifter at the Taproom.

A: Pours jet black in color with a 1/2 inch, frothy, light brown to khaki colored head with good retention. Thick, light brown to khaki colored lacing throughout.

S: Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee, espresso, vanilla, caramel, toffee, and dark fruits.

T: Taste matches aromas almost exactly. Starts off with strong notes of bitter cold press and dark chocolate followed by vanilla and toffee. Finishes with notes of caramel and dark fruits. Bitter cold press comes back around on the finish and leaves a nice lingering bitterness. Small amount of heat from the ABV on the end.

F: Full bodied, smooth, thick, creamy, and crisp with slight carbonation.

O: Overall, this is a great imperial stout. This is my first time trying this one and I was really wowed with how well balanced and crafted it was. Cold press, chocolate, and vanilla are the main show here and the flavors are perfectly intertwined. Will definitely be trying this one again. Hope this ends up getting bottled in the future once they're more established.
