I prefer a regular imperial stout, the pastry stouts can be just over the top. But that does not mean I will not taste them. Tonight I have Last Course to try, the can came to me from Half Time in New York. The tab is lifted and I pour. A quite dark, caramel brown liquid with a thin tan foam covering the top. I smell maple, grain and and a promise of sweetness. The taste does match up somewhat with the scent. There is wood, syrup, a grain taste that could be pie crust and a candy sweetness. The sensation is thinner that I anticipated and that is a setback. The pecan pie thing in total is escaping me. Perhaps my expectations were too great.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown color with a small cap of an eggshell white foamy head, dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: rich roasted and sweet pecans, pie crust, maple is nice and sweet
Flavor: roasty and sweet through the prior mentioned aromas, barely any aftertaste but seemed somewhat maple-y and pecans
Texture: full bodied, decadently smooth, she's a sipper; finishes roasty with the maple, and I'm so glad to say it's not cloying (huge sigh of relief as so many brewers screw that part up)
Overall: a practically perfect decadent evening dessert beer that would absolutely put one in their happy place.
