Our legendary imperial stout pulls into the fast lane with four bold, dessert-driven variants inspired by classic American pies. From rich fillings to flaky finishes, each brew is a turbo-charged slice of nostalgia. Originally crafted for San Diego Beer Week, this mixed 4-pack captures the spirit of the celebration and drops it straight into your glass, no pit stop required.

Pint can pours with a nice dark colored body that supports a nice full tan head of foam. The aroma offers up . . . oh Jesus! this is straight up banana with hints of roasted to dark roasted malts just on the periphery of the aromatic experience. Whoa, the taste delivers banana from front to back with modest booziness and roasted malts in the background. As it warms a bit the roastiness and roasted coffee do build a meager semblance of "balance." OK.

16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of banana, sugars, a little coffee, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is much less banana-dominated, with plenty of coffee, some vanilla, very gentle banana, and some cocoa. Nice coffee to balance the banana. Good stuff if you’re gonna do something egregious like this.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight transient creamy tan head. Aroma of dark malt and banana. Approaching full bodied. It's not dry, but it is bitter. Flavor is banana and coffee with some vanilla. Banana is primary. Strange but nice.
