16oz can poured into a tulip
A- pours black in color with a one-finger foamy khaki head that has good retention before settling down to a film on top
S- chocolate and vanilla notes on top of a base of roasted malt that gives a hint of coffee. Undertones of marshmallow cream, caramel and a hint of graham cracker
T- roasted malt and sweet chocolate and cocoa nibs up front, followed by sweet notes of vanilla and marshmallows. Mid-palate gives a hint of dark fruits and caramel. The finish gives more chocolate and vanilla, maybe a hint of graham cracker if I look for it
M- medium body with low carbonation leads to a slightly creamy mouthfeel that continues into the finish

The text on the bottom of the can is small and smushed together, but it appears to show: "CANNED ON 02/01/21 14:35 STRAIGHT VIBIN'"
Appearance: The body is black and it has a short, creamy textured, khaki head. The head has large popping bubbles that reveal a foamless black surface on the beer. There isn't much retention but there is spotty lacing.
Aroma: There is a roasted grain aroma with a charcoal scent.
Taste: Up front there is a slightly sweet malt character, that comes across a bit like Malta. Towards the middle of the mouth there is a bit of vanilla flavor, some heavily roasted grains, and alcohol flavor. The aftertaste is more of the latter two aforementioned flavors.
Mouthfeel: It is medium to medium-light bodied depending on the sip. Carbonation feels a tad high for a stout but it works for the beer. Medium roasted bitterness.
Overall: The label on the can states that this is an "IMPERIAL STOUT BREWED WITH CHOCOLATE, GRAHAM CRACKERS, MARSHMALLOW, AND VANILLA." There is some sweetness to the beer but it comes across more as malt sweetness than marshmallow. The vanilla is definitely present. Chocolate and Graham Crackers are absent. As a whole the beer is an alright Imperial Stout with some of the advertised flavors. It shows the alcohol more than it probably needs to, but it's still drinkable. There isn't enough to the beer for me to want to buy it again, but I'll enjoy the can that I have. I wouldn't recommend for or against buying it.

Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass canned on 3/01/21. Pours a very attractive dark brown with a 2 plus finger light brown head that a thin wall of lace, with solid retention. 4.25
Aroma is dark chocolate, vanilla, graham cracker, and marshmallow. 4.25
Taste follows dark chocolate, vanilla, graham cracker, toffee, and marshmallow. 4.25
Mouthfeel is above medium, fairly gentle carbonation, maybe a tad dry, and at 8.0% ABV extremely approachable. 4.25
Overall this is a really nice stout, a tad one dimensional but tasty and well made just the same. 4.25

Pours a dark brown with fine, chocolate colored head.
Smell is sweet with notes of chocolate, vanilla, molasses and a slight floral, perfumey hint.
Taste sweet and slightly fruity with notes of chocolate, vanilla, pie crust, red berries and chocolate syrup. A bit of bitterness gets a little bit in the way on the finish.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft and well carbonated.
Overall, a good stout with plenty of flavor.
