16 ounce can, 03/25/24 stamped on the bottom of the can, thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a chalice, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like coffee, burnt/charred malt, dark chocolate and some vanilla. For the most part I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some dark bready, earthy and dark fruit flavors noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is full, it's slick, smooth and a bit syrupy with a low/moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one a lot, definitely worth trying especially if you like coffee stouts!

Strong mocha flavor as expected. Big beer. Nice thick mouthfeel - important for a stout.

Like it. Don’t love it.

 

 

From the 16 oz can in a snifter. This monster pours a pitch black with a
fantastic head of brown foam that subsides to a thick ring, thick clumping layer,
and sports some very nice lacing. Nose of dark bakers cocoa, light vanilla, and
dark roasted coffee. Flavors hit the mark with dark earthy malts, dark and rich
black coffee, vanilla, char, roast, and dark berry notes of blueberry and blackberry
dashed with a touch of smoke and tobacco. Mouth feel is full, smooth, rich, very
coating, light carbonation, and a very nice bitter malt finish.

Overall, a very nice down the middle imperial hitting all the points for an imperial
stout!

Cheers
