Can to snifter.
Appearance: bronzed amber color with a finger's worth of white foamy head, once it dissipated, quickly dissolving lace disappeared
Aroma: white chocolatey character, some roastiness, vanilla, sly coffee tones
Flavor: previously mentioned aromas wrap up sweet and roasty, subtle chocolatey and coffee aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, smooth chocolatey/coffee/vanilla finish
Overall: white/blonde stout? Hmmm, well, the brewer does call it an imperial white/blonde stout, though I believe a possible new style was created with this - "amber stout." Maybe not a "thing" yet but eventually I bet that will happen.
