Can - pours a dark brown with a quickly diminishing head - looks like cola - for an imperial stout from this brewery, that is unusual - they usually pour black and viscous - nose is nearly 100% coffee, which by itself is not bad (I love coffee), but it smells sharp and acidic - underneath is sweet vanilla and chocolate - mouthfeel is slightly slick - medium to full body - much like the nose, the flavor is dominated by coffee - very acidic coffee, sharp, bitter - slight vanilla underneath and some chocolate, but the finish is particularly bitter and abrasive - I usually love their imperial stouts, but this one is a miss for me - maybe that’s why it was only 6 bucks a can?
