Why am I rating a stout out of a can? I guess the answer is its pretty dam good. Thick chocolate, coffe, and roasted flavors. I must say a pretty dam good stout. Why again is it sold in a can?

Draft @ Falling Rock. Deep, dark and oily, smells of dark chocolate and a hint of anise and coffee. Tastes more of the chocolate and a really prominent black licorice. The licorice flavor is extremely close to the Dutch ’drop’ candies (which I hate, but somehow they go really well in this beer). Finishes with nice hoppy bitter and a pleasant alcohol heat. A hot early summer day pre-ballgame was probably the wrong atmosphere to rate this one, but very good

Thick thick thick. Lots of chocolate flavor and smell. Don’t spill this one because it will stain the hell out of a shirt! Definitely worth the mess though. I could drink this beer until I lay down and die. So good!

Très bonne imperial stout. Douce et chocolatée en bouche, elle semble disparaître au palais, comme une barbe à papa. En finale, on perçoit davantage les notes d’alcool et de houblon, mais elle reste toujours moelleuse et légèrement chocolatée.

Pour is very thick.Looks like black,rit dye with a khaki head,that fades to a creamy ring. Big malty,roasted-burnt,espresso, aroma with alcohol ligering. Creamy,oily texture. Burnt malt,inky,flavors,with a quite,hoppy finish. Alcohol is present in mouth and finish in a stinging fashion.Falls apart a little quitckly.

12 oz can into a snifter. Pours a thick, rich, black, and completely opaque. 1/2 fingers of brown head, which settles quickly into a thin ring of foam, and an incomplete, oily island. Smells of molasses, roasted malts, coffee, anise infused sweetness, hints of dark fruits and alcohol. Quite excellent. With taste, "robust" is the first thing that comes to mind. Lots of what the nose made me expect; molasses sweetness, and roasty malts and coffee. Hints of alcohol bitterness builds as consumed. Moderately low carbonation. Thick and full....smooth....the way I want a RIS to feel. Overall, this is a fab slow sipper, and quite smooth and easy drinking considering it’s 10 % ABV ....Quite worthy of it’s high ratings. I (sadly) can’t get this stuff around here, but it might be worth it to find a way to snag some more of this canned gem.

This was a very good stout. Almost a total blackness with little head at all. Dark and ink-like. Very similar to Old Rasputin. I enjoyed trying it and will most likely have it again.

12oz can. Poured a thick, oily black with a 2 finger, dense, dark brown head. Malts and alcohol are the aggressors in the nose with some notes of coffee. Flavor is burnt somewhat astringent malts with a sharp alcohol bite. Very creamy/oily mouthfeel with soft carbonation. As the beer warms some bitter chocolate becomes more apparent. Finishes with a good dose of hops bitterness. Good.
