Can, 2025 vintage. Rich roasted malt aroma with notes of dark chocolate, coconut, coffee, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours inky black with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and some lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with coconut, bourbon and oak flavors as well as a nice warming booziness at the very end. Delightful.

Taster from can. Just an impression, perhaps. None of the cherry flavor I thought I detected in my first glass so long ago. Greater emphasis on stout, just a slight warming alcohol.

I have a 12 oz can from Half Time, they were somewhat proud of it as I recall. No matter in the big picture, I appreciate a barrel aged imperial stout any time. A tulip glass from a Fort Worth brewery in front of me, I tilt the can into the glass. A dark mahogany body topped by a slender skim of dark tan foam that diminishes even more. A rich smell of bakers chocolate, roast and pecans. And then the taste, certainly a step up. Boozy to start with, chocolate, caramel, burnt grain, roast, strawberries, malt and barrel. Very tasty, very good, it was worth the price whatever I paid for it. A nice density too, quite full. The high ABV is there of course but it is well covered. My third high level imperial stout in a short period of time. That has not happened in some time, really good imperial stouts are getting more difficult to find.

Can off the interweb, probably beer merchants. It pours oily jet black with a brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malts, bitter - sweet, huge vanilla and toasted coconut, chocolate gateaux, bounty bar, rocky road, gooey toasted marshmallows, rich bourbon vibes, dark roast espresso and a touch of charcoal. The taste is slick, oily, rich roasted maltage, mouth- costing, dark, decadent, rich coffee character, toffee, espresso with 3 sugars, bourbon soaked oak, warming booze, vanilla, toasted coconut, bounty bar, malt loaf, liquorice allsorts, rocky road, sugared plums, dried fruits, charred oak and pleasing warmth with a slick, bitter - sweet finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and velvety mouth feel. Full of flavour and strikes a nice balance. This guy are he master of big high abv filth.
