Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a quickly dissipating head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet cherries - subtle tart character of them underneath; the vanilla bean sweetness is nicely there; milk chocolate; subtle dark roasty coffee tones
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sweet sort of way with a mild roasty tone underneath; finishes with the cherries, raspberries and chocolatey notes
Texture: medium bodied, trying to be a sipper but seems to fall a touch short; light smoothness but also a touch of roasty grind in there too
Overall: pretty nice pastry impy stout worthy of coming back to.
