16 ounce can, no dating on it that I noticed. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with not quite an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The brew smells like chocolate, caramel, cream, vanilla, and some roasted malt. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some coffee and dark fruit flavors noticeable. Definitely a sweeter tasting brew, almost too sweet tasting for me. Mouthfeel/body is full, it's slick and a bit syrupy with a low/moderate amount of carbonation. 13.5% ABV is well hidden. Overall I liked this brew, just wish the sweetness was scaled down some. Definitely worth trying if you're into very sweet tasting pastry stouts!

From the 16 oz can I think from Bluejacket74! This solid little imperial
pours a dark blackish brown with a nice head of brown foam that settles
to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some nice light lacing. Nose of
serious burnt cream, char, roasted malts, dark chocolate, and subtle
dark coffee. Flavors surpass the nose with dark chocolate, char, brulee,
subtle vinous notes, dark fruits, subtle dark coffee, and vanilla. Mouth feel
is full, smooth, slick, coating, rich, medium light carbonation, and a sweet
roasted / char laden finish that is verging on being cloying.
Overall----very nice!
Cheers
