On tap at City Hops, NYC. Pours almost black with a beige head. Dark chocolate, mint?, vanilla, coconut, peanut butter. Fairly good, but not my favorite impy.

St Gambrinus, Brooklyn tap: pours black with a darker beige head. Aroma is chocolate, nut butter... not really seeing too much vanilla or the whiteness of the chocolate. Taste is somewhat sweet... loads of nut butter. Mere hints of coconuts. Alcohol is well covered. Solid. Not as crazy as they wanted it to be.

16 ounce can into snifter, canned on 2/9/2018. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, peanut butter, coconut, marshmallow, fudge, molasses, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of coffee, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Increasing fruitiness as it warms, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balanced and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, white chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and PB flavorings; with solid strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, peanut butter, coconut, marshmallow, fudge, molasses, and toasted dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of coffee, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, herbal, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, peanut butter, coconut, marshmallow, fudge, molasses, toasted dark/brown bread, light dark fruit/smoke, yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, white chocolate, vanilla, coconut, and PB flavorings; with a great roasted bitter/sweet balance; and zero cloying/acrid flavors after the finish. Minimal dryness. Light-medium carbonation and very full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/slick, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Mildly increasing warmth of 11% after the finish. Overall this is an excellent flavored imperial stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of rich malts and flavorings; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Not quite as impressive as most of their other stouts, but still delicious. A bit more fruity on the yeast.

Draught @ City Hops. Opaque dark brown with very small frothy beige head that's gone immediately, sweetish mocha aroma, low carbonation, sweet syrup/molasses taste with medium bitter mocha and alcohol undertones, thin body, long bitter finish. Quite strong but a bit syrupy.
