Seven years, seven of our favourite adjuncts. Brewed to mark Vault City's 7th birthday, this decadent imperial stout layers chocolate cacao nibs, maple syrup, coffee, coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel into something luxuriously smooth and full-bodied. It’s dark, rich, sticky, and the perfect way to celebrate seven sweet years, with many more to come.

Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head, doesn't last. Smooth palate, a mild viscosity and commensurate amount of fine carbonation. Overall, feel pretty light for an Impy clocking on at 14%. Smooth and rich dark chocolate malts run seamlessly with dark malt cream. Total adjunct fest! I can taste coconut, caramel, maple, coffee, vanilla and cinnamon. Impressively, no one element totally dominates, rather they are bit part players in the overall movie. If historians ever study this craft beer wave, clearly on the wane now, they would be entitled to point at this brew and describe it as the defining adjunct laden imperial stout. Amusing.

A note to the coconut-averse: I am too, but the other flavours in this are good enough that unless you can't stand even a hint of coconut I think this is worth your time.

Tap at Drinkoteka. Black body, no head. Creamy aroma, chocolate, bit of vanilla, fine. Creamy, heavily alcoholic liqueur aroma, chocolate and cinnamon I guess, maple, light raisins. Creamy, still very "warm" taste, raisin, cocoa, barrel-like notes (coconut, vanilla), roughish, but ultimately quite tasty!

On tap. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of chocolate syrup, vanilla, coconut, and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a bit of additional cinnamon and a lot of sugars. Sticky and sweet but without much notice of the ABV. Quite tasty, though would not drink much.

Стаут от ваулт здорового человека. Приятный очень шоколад, какао бобы, сиропа маленько на финише.
