Can to tulip. Thanks Drew.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger khaki head slowly dissipating to leave some messy lace
Aroma: semi-sweet coffee beans, cocoa powder sweetness, dark chocolate, biscuity malts, and a touch of dark fruits far underneath
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas sweetly with an ample bitter backing and keen roastiness to round things out; quick aftertaste of the cofee bean sweetness and roastiness
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some roastiness gripping my tongue, sly finish of the coffee bean sweetness and roastiness
Overall: a very nicely done imperial stout very worthy of having again.

Lively when you pop the can though not gushing, it pours into a black beer with a nice brown head which disappears in a flash to a weird scummy layer. Aroma is huge coffee upfront, cold brew, vanilla, lactose and cocoa. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Lovely!

Upon opening the can the foam gushes out, though not in a terrible way. Pours a black colour with no head. There are particles floating around, possibly yeast. Lots of coffee roast in the aroma with vanilla and chocolatey sweetness to a lesser extent. Retronasal there's coffee, some sourness (that you often get with coffee stouts), vanilla, a bit lactose sweetness. Flavour is rather sweet but with some bitterness from the roast and chocolate to balance it out. Medium bodied. Good carbonation. Long finish, roasted, chocolatey, coffee-ish, moderate bitter. Quite a treat.
