Can to snifter.
Appearance: black color with a finger and a half's worth of dark tan foamy head. The head dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: huge amount of dark and milk chocolates; figs, dark bread, sly coffee roast
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together roasty and sweet; mild aftertaste of the figs and milk chocolate
Texture: medium to full bodied; this is definitely a sipper! very dry and has some roast abrasiveness along my tongue; finishes dry, roasty and a ton of coffee and figs
Overall: not a bad imperial stout but I see why they named it what they did because if you don't drink enough water before or after this beer it will smack you like a freight train with it's dryness.
