Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger tan foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: big milk chocolatey tones with red raspberry sweet & tart whiffs, subtle coffee roast underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas sweet and roasty initially with a sly tart quality from the raspberries underneagh, quick aftertaste of chocolate & raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper, some smoothness but some roasty grit on the tongue - mostly balanced; finishes nicely between the chocolate and raspberries
Overall: a very nicely done flavoured imperial stout very worthy of coming back to.
