Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a quickly dissipating little head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: roasty and sweet to earthy and spicy coffee tones, so many different coffee variations - really good; quaint semi-sweet vanilla, then light roasty vibes from the aroma as a whole
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to an extremely awesome sweet to roasty quality; finishes very coffee forward with subtle tones of vanilla
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper! Some smoothness, a light dry tone and a delicate spicy earthy grind into the tongue
Overall: a very coffee forward impy stout I would very much welcome again.
