Got this from Terry & Emma. Cheers!

From a 473ml can into a tulip
Imperial stout with chocolate cake, chocolate, vanilla and sprinkles

APPEARANCE: Transparent black pour yields a small, thin wisp that sticks around. Black body with no real carbonation evident. A light wisp remains for a few moments, but this one looks flat rather quickly.

SMELL: Lots of chocolate on the nose, chocolate cake and icing, with roasted aromas and plenty of vanilla cream on the nose. This is a glass of chocolate desert.

TASTE: Chocolate cake, with lots of vanilla cream and icing up front. Some roasted flavors at the swallow, with a big and bold finish of chocolate cake, vanilla icing, brownies, some roasted flavors and a touch of booze lingers on the nose. This is definitely as advertised. A glass of chocolate brownie cake with vanilla sprinkles.

PALATE: Medium-fuller body with medium levels of carbonation. Creamy on the palate, slightly silky, goes down smooth with a bit of a bite at the end, finishing somewhat mouth-coating. A touch of heat lingers.

OVERALL: Lovely stuff. The look is a little lack luster, but the nose is enticing and the flavor profile is exactly what you’d want from a chocolate cake imperial stout covered in vanilla sprinkles. This has been a really fun series and I might agree that this version is the best of the bunch. A barrel aged version of this would be right up my alley. If you get the chance, don’t hesitate to jump on this one. Thanks again, guys!

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color ale with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet chocolate notes with some fudge notes and some residual sugar notes. Taste is also dominated by huge fudge notes with some residual sugar notes and chocolate. Body is full with a nice creamy/oily texture and godo carbonation with light alcohol notes. Solid pastry stout with balanced flavors.
