Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown very close to black in the glass with a tan foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light remnants of lace
Aroma: thick notes of milk chocolate, sweet coffee, roasted coffee, toffee and vanilla
Flavor: rich thick sweet and roasty tones of the prior noted aromas; mild finish of the milk chocolate and sweet & roasty coffee tones
Texture: medium bodied, somewhere between being a sipper and being sessionable; and the smoothness - woweee, this has got to be one of the smoothest beers I've ever had
Overall: pure decadence in a glass/diabetes in a can. Though I would come back to this, guess I'm a sucker for the indulgence.

Аромат ванильный, но при этом имеются нотки кофе, немного сливочный как будто немного лактозы добавили. Цвет чернущий, просто уголь. Пенки нету даже тонкой. Вкус хорош. Немного ванильной сладости, затем легкая маслянистость и сливочность, все сбалансированно. Послевкусие уже с горчинкой хмелевой, а также сухость от какао бобов и кофе. Овсяник особо не почувствовал, может лишь намеки в конце. Алкоголь ощущается и не слабо. В целом мне понравился, весьма сложное пиво от mikkeller.

Probably not the last vacation beer, but the last day of vacation.

16 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, dense, tan head. The nose is lots of vanilla, milk chocolate, dark cherries, oak, brown bread, and anise. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, bracing bitterness. Very heavy body, with a thick and syrupy palate. Balanced, wonderfully aromatic, and decadent, without being too cloying.

330 ml can. Murky black with a big fluffy stable mocha coloured head. A lot of vanilla, toffee, caramel, tonka, some bitter almond, burnt malt. Strong bitterness, some caramel sweetness. Full bodied, slick oily texture, soft carbonated, bitter finish, alcohol well hidden. Nice vanilla aroma, but the bitterness is a bit unpleasant, but still a good one!

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, very small, creamy, fading, brown head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty, minimally smoky and oaty aroma, hints of caramel, milk chocolate, a touch of leather and vanilla. Taste is roasty dark malty, chocolately, minimally sweet, spicy, notes of dark chocolate, hints of vanilla, houndreds and thousands, a touch of burnt caramel. If reincarnation is a fact, i might be born again as a vanilla fan able to appreciate this kind of (Impy) Stouts - but never in this life.
