Can from Beergium. Aroma is firmly roasted malt with coffee, dark chocolate, ash, some liquorice, and a little dark fruit. Flavour is rather bitter and roasty with mild to medium sweetness. Body is medium. Heavily bitter roasty Stout, lacks the finesse of the exemplary ones, this is almost harsh. That being said, I like roast and coffee and this has plenty of both.

Super deep dark and brown coloured body with only a very small lighter brown and deep tan head that barely shows at a single centimetre and leaves nothing on the sides or up top after a few seconds. Aroma of molasses, brown sugars, pitted fruits, dates, a bunch of hearty spices showing canella, anise, allspice and some fennel as well, with a dry rye and grainy note of malt near the end, seemingly quite strong, especially to be picked up in this style. Medium-bodied; Very strong molasses, brown sugar, caramel, toffee, treacle and raisin notes up front with a big sweetness from pitted fruits and some earthiness as well, with a supportive malt body of course and some vanilla, milk chocolate and earthier, fairly rustic notes soon afterwards with a kick of alcohol still noticeable, but slightly tempered, it seems. Aftertaste shows a lot of sweetness and relatively earthy notes with a noticeable amount of rye and specialty grains in the malt bill at the very end, but the sweetness then comes over and overtakes the spices with the vanilla, lactose, cream, chocolate and figs the strongest here at the end. Overall, a very nice and robust beer that probably has lost some body of course, but the complexity and nuanced notes along with the lighter alcohol burn and more rounded notes seem to have done this beer well - I believe this is a good stage to drink this one, and perhaps in another year it might be a bit better, but with only one can of this, I'm thinking that when I bought/drank this was near perfect. I sampled this (the best ever) full open top, twelve ounce can, purchased from Hy-Vee in Omaha (Papillion), Nebraska on 07-October-2019 for US$3,49 sampled exactly three years after purchase on 07-October-2022 at my house back here in Washington, and canned on 08-January-2019 with the tagline (maybe) 'DragonsInTheWild' on the bottom.

Can sample at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Max. Black, tan foam. Roast, some piney hops, alcohol, sweetish, bitter finish.

From the can. A few months past the expiration date now. Dark brown in color with a beige, creamy head that clings to the glass. Sweet chocolate aroma with a whiff of butterscotch and prune. Taste is sweet with a light tartness that becomes more pronounced at the finish. Full-bodied, mild carbonation. Very pleasant.

Can 355ml (Beergium, canned 09/08/2017) Dark opaque brown colour, big cloudy beige head. Licorice, toasted malts in the nose. Medium-bodied. Toasted malts, some warming alcohol, coffee, rye bread and licorice in the flavour. Some bitterness too. Light metallic klang in the finish. Fairly good hoppy imperial stout.

Can from Bierei. Brownish black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee malt. Flavour is milk coffee, silky smooth, creamy roasted base with an intense stout finish.

Brown with little beige head. Aroma is slight smoke, raw cocoa, a bit chcoclate. Taste is sharp spicy, lot of sweet syrup, a bit more nutpeel. A bit too sharp, not that full body, only harsh. Meh.
