and some lacing notes. Aroma of chocolate notes with some nice floral coffee notes and vanilla and light residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of chocolate notes with some nice floral coffee notes and some light residual sugar notes. Body is full with an oily texture and good carbonation with not much discernible alcohol notes. Great coffee based stout but not sure the Cognac aged pistachios can be really tasted.

Dark brown, no head. Fairly coffeeish aroma, and on the palate there's a bit of vanilla. On the palate, it is a bit thinnish, not too thin, but less than the best. There's still some coffee. It's good.

355mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of toasted pistachios, maple syrup, cocoa, and deep coffee. Flavour has plenty of cognac-soaked nuts, toasted malt, and earthy coffee. A bit muddled and lacking cohesion, but there’s nice coffee character. Good.

355mL can. Pours nearly black with a small beige head. Lots of coffee on the nose; some notes of vanilla and malts. Flavour has plenty of coffee, burnt maple syrup, minimal nuts. Decent enough.
