35,5 cl can @ Fremont vax tasting. Canned 4.8.2020. Aroma is quite mild with licorice and mild saltiness. Flavour has salty licorice, funky yasty notes. Finishes herbal. Too salty for my taste.

Can. Color: Pitch black, light brown head. Aroma: Coffee, roasted malt. Taste: Very smooth, silky / creamy, roasted malt, coffee and mocha. Over moderate sweet and bitter, somewhat more bitter finish. Quite dense mouthfeel. Below average carbonation. Very well balanced and very tastefull. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Great oatmeal Stout.

12oz can at home. Packaged 08/04/2020. black color, small coffee colored head. smells earthy, bit smoky, bit tobacco, bit rubbery, coffee. decent smell, expected a bit more. full body, light carbonation. tastes earthy, smoky, bit leathery, tobacco, light soy sauce, light cocoa, bit fudgy, light corn sirup, molasses. finishes lightly to medium bitter with notes of tobacco, corn sirup and soy sauce. hmm, expected more of tis, heavy on the corn sirup and soy sauce notes. can see that this one works when putting on some barrels, but on its own its not that great.

Tasty, full of dark chocolate, mocha, roast, anise, and a little dark fruit and molasses, followed by a sturdy charred bite and a lingering bitterness. Pitch-perfect mouthfeel; rich and creamy as a chocolate shake, but thankfully dry. Excellent pint.

12 oz. can purchased at Davidsons Wine & Spirits in Highland Ranch, CO. Thanks G-unit! Pours a pitch black color with a thick light brown head and great retention. Good lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and dark chocolate. The taste matches the nose. Dark roasted flavor up front with a mix of dark chocolate and some molasses in the finish. The 8.0% ABV and 50 IBUs are both pretty well hidden. Creamy, heavy mouthfeel. Very good for an imperial stout.
