From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This imperial pours a dark
blackish brown with a moderate head of khaki foam that settles
to a thick ring, thin dusty layer, and sports some light lacing. Nose of
heavy chai spice of cinnamon, cardamom, and heavy ginger with light
bourbon and faint vanilla. Flavors lightly exceed with a spice cabinet
full of chai, heavy ginger, heavy cardamom, heavy star anise, dark
coffee, woodsy vanilla, and bourbon. Mouth feel is full, light carbonation,
and a bitter malt and spice finish.
It's too much of a good thing----an overload of spice. Tone it down and
you have a winner; this is just overpowering and beyond coating.
