L: Pours thick, near-black, forming a rich yet thin hickory head that fades quickly. No appreciable retention or lacing. Held to the light, this beer is a dark walnut hue.
S: Strong notes of dark, bitter chocolate, espresso, roasted malts; with oats, and touches of vanilla, along with some alcohol heat. Faint burnt sugar
T: Follows the nose - chocolate cake, dark espresso, vanilla bean, a bit nutty. Transitions to roasted malts, brown sugar, and some dark fruit in the finish. Impressive, truly decadent and not cloying at all.
F: Has a silky, creamy, coating MF. Medium- to full-bodied, bias towards full. Nice moderate touch of carbonation towards the finish.
O: Strong dessert beer. No obvious weak points. Aromatic, tastes delicious. A bit underrated.

16 oz can. Pours black with small, brown head and nice lacing. Aroma is of toasted malt, toast, dark fruit, vanilla, alcohol and chocolate. Body is full, creamy and smooth. Taste is of nutty, toasted malt, coffee, chocolate, brown sugar, dark fruit, toffee and herbal hops. Finish is long and sweet. Good dessert beer.

A: opaque; very dark brown in color; with a fairly aggressive pour, a wispy cap that receded in seconds to a thick collar; no lacing;
S: nicely aromatic; bittersweet chocolate with a bit of coffee;
T: follows the nose from start to finish; moderate bitterness at the end; as it warms, it tastes more like bittersweet chocolate with cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg;
M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; dry finish; alcohol is soft and warming;
O: interesting; body was a bit thin;

They have very ably evoked liquid tiramisu in a can. The chocolate and coffee are absolutely harmonious and jibe well with a silly smooth stout. Very much like the dessert I love. Incredibly, this drinks like a stout half it's size.

Served in a snifter from the can.
Appearance: Deep dark brown tinted black body with a dark tan head.
Smell:. Rich creamy espresso with a hint of vanilla bean.
Taste: Straight forward like the label...creamy, not too boozy coffee bean meshed with deep vanilla and a thick creme.
Mouth: Sticky body, like leaving the desert in your mouth and almost nothing else could finish it off.
Overall: Good brew, honestly if I see it again I will be definitely grabbing another 4-pack with zero regret. Salud!

Pours black with a nice tan head pretty desent lace.
Aroma is nice smooth sweet chocolate, cream, cake notes with great coffee added to the sweetness just like the dessert.
Tastes is like the aroma, good chocolate dessert that's creamy with a good dose of the old Java thrown in to make it interesting. Smooth way drinking dessert beer with the 12.5% listed on my can well hidden.
Mouthfeel is big medium with smooth mellow carbonation like a creamy dessert.
Overall a enjoyable solid dessert stout that's not to sweet just perfect.

On tap at the brewery.
A - Dark brown pour that's borderline black. Very viscous on the sides of the glass....nice legs right here, peeps!
S - Chocolate cake aroma with a shot of rum. Lots of bakery sweetness on the nose.
T - Fresh chocolate cake, rum, cocoa powder, and a shot of coffee.
M - Thick and full bodied. Silky texture and leaves a coating of sugar on the lips.
O - Pretty awesome dessert beer.
