UPDATED: JAN 7, 2023 473 ml can poured at home. Pours jet black with a tan head. Smells like chocolate, coffee, black liquorice and malt. Taste is malt forward with some notes of coffee and smoke. Very good and sneaky as it doesn’t taste like a 12% beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2022 Appearance: Pours deep black with a creamy head. Aroma: dark chocolate, fusile alcohols, coffe Mouthfeel: surprisingly light for the style and strengh.. very creamy Taste: coffee and alcohol are the dominant notes. Dark chocate is also prevalent. Ery drinkable. Excellent and very dangerous

UPDATED: NOV 19, 2022 Pitch black with a tad of carbonation. Roasted malts on the nose. In fact, a massive amount of roasted malt aromas. Carmel with dark fruits like figs, possibly dark cherries. At least to my nose. Roasted coffee also picked up in this brew.. The taste is basically the same as the nose. Chocolate, coffee, come on through. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth. There is bitterness on the tail end, but it's not overwhelming, I think. This is so yummy. I'm picking up again.

UPDATED: SEP 24, 2022 Pitch black with creamy light brown head which stays long. Aroma of intense chocolate, licorice, roast and some salt. Taste has lots of roast, licorice and coffee. Finishes with hops. Creamy mouthfeel. Full body, average carbonation. Full of roast and coffee. Excellent imperial stout.

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2022 Pours a pitch-black coloration with a large, creamy, mocha-colored head. Smells of roasted, caramel malt and coffee and chocolate, as well as lighter dark fruit and hints of licorice and tobacco. Taste is an excellent balance of roasted, caramel malt and distinct coffe and dark chocolate, as well as some dark fruit, with notes of fig and plum, and hints of licorice, tobacco and herbal, bitter hops. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some chocolate, coffee, dark fruit and tobacco lingerin in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a medium/rich body and low/medium carbonation. This makes for a very enjoyable coffee stout with distinct, but not overdone chocolate, coffee and dark fruit notes, while I suspect that a lot of the chocolate and dark fruit comes from the coffee as well as the malts. At the same time, there's a very good roasted and bitter presence to this as well, with some roasted malts and herbal hops, which is just the kind of flavor profile that I'm looking for from a beer like this. It's very well-balanced, with some lightly sweet notes from the dark fruit and caramel malt, as well as more roasted malt and bitter, herbal hops, as well as hints of licorice and tobacco. Also, the ABV is hardly noticeable here, with this drinking very smooth, with a great body and mouthfeel.
