Can. A really large fluffy brown head. Dark almost black. Aroma is dark roasted grains with hints of coffee and chocolate. Taste was slightly sweet upfront with mainly chocolate flavor.

Can shared at share: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is graham crackers and chocolate. Taste is quite sweet. Also there is chocolate. Large and sweet. Not great finish.

Can, at bottle share, thanks to mansquito. Pours black. Toast, biscuit, chocolate, fruit, lots of biscuit. Medium body. Not as sweet as expected. Fine.

Drain pour, gotta assume something went wrong.

The Aromas are strong black patent malt and molasses and not much else. Flavors lose most of the black patent, I can pick up a hint of graham and maybe vanilla but not the chocolate nor certainly the marshmallows. It is on the sweet side with strong carbonation, average body. Kind of an average Imperial milk stout.

Can, from Beer Run. Pours opaque dark brown with very small frothy beige head that disappears fast, mocha-dark chocolate aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter mocha-dark chocolate taste, faint vanilla flavor, smooth, somewhat thick body, long finish. Nice, not great though.

16 ounce can into snifter, canned in 4/2019. Pours hazy/cloudy/dense opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy dark tan head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Good appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, molasses, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, graham cracker, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, marshmallow, vanilla, chocolate, graham cracker, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, molasses, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, graham cracker, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, spicy hops; and roast/char bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, molasses, vanilla, cream, marshmallow, graham cracker, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, marshmallow, vanilla, chocolate, graham cracker, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying/acrid flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and very full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 9.3% after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic flavored imperial milk stout. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, marshmallow, vanilla, chocolate, graham cracker, lactose, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/drying finish; fantastically soft/silky feel. Amazing balance of super rich malts, lactose, and flavorings; with just enough earthy hops to balance sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding pastry stout style example.

Pour is a almost complete black with little to no head. Aroma is a decent char and bitter chocolate malt with some sugar in there. Flavor is some graham cracker dryness with some vanilla. Not as sweet as I thought this was going to be with the addition of marshmallows. Decent beer nothing really stood out as a dominate adjunct here it wa all kind of muted but still there in minor ways.
