You don’t get all of the 50 adjuncts listed in the flavor profile, but it’s a soft chocolatey, peanut butter, coconut stout that barely tastes like beer and is dangerously easy to drink.

On-draught @ All Relation. Runs $1 per oz plus tip.
"Vending Machine Stout." 15.1% ABV. "Munchos, Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels, Rice Crispy Treats, Cocao [sic] nibs, Coconut, Twix, Oreos, Butterfingers, Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, M&M Cookies, Graham Crackers, Marshmallow, Beer." Oh boy...
A: Opaque black body. No real head.
Sm: A bit vile it's so damned cloying. Chocolate bars and more chocolate bars. Nougat. Heavy adjunct/additive sweetness.
Don't find the coconut, but the peanut butter lands. The smore aromatics you'd expect given the inclusion of Graham cracker and marshmallow are absent. Don't find any pretzel.
Syrupy chocolate sweetness is the emphasis here. But it does drown out any hint of alcohol, which is something.
Suggests a cloying additive-driven brew with no subtlety to it at all.
Aromatic intensity is average...this is surprisingly moderate for a 15.1% ABV imperial stout.
TASTE & TEXTURE: Sweet, chocolatey, and a hell of a lot less complex than its long ingredient list might lead you to expect. Chocolate syrup, a hint of peanut butter, a scintilla of coconut.
No pretzel, no rice krispie, no Graham cracker. I consider these absences a good thing, though I do love pretzels.
Not the heavy sludgy mess I feared, but I also didn't expect a beer this simplistic or narrow in its flavour profile. It just tastes like a scaled up chocolate stout with a well hidden ABV and a bit of added artificial flavour from additives. Syrupy and thick, which becomes more noticeable as it comes to temperature and starts to make it a biteen of a chore to drink.
OVERALL: It's better than Southern Prohibition's almond joy beer (which, for the record, is fucking horrendous), but discerning drinkers would be better off saving their money and reaching for a less expensive yet superior chocolate stout...Samuel Smith's, for example. I admit I expected a sludgy boozy chaotic mess and this isn't that, but it also isn't very good once you get past how well disguised its ABV is.
