9.6 ounce nitro can into tulip glass, canned on 10/30/2018. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense, creamy, cascading khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick creamy lacing clings on the glass. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, habanero pepper, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of toffee, vanilla, molasses, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts, cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, peppers, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, habanero pepper, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark/brown bread; with lighter notes of toffee, vanilla, molasses, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, roasted bitterness; and cinnamon/pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, medium roast coffee, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, habanero pepper, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark/brown bread, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, peppers, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet and cinnamon/pepper spiciness balance; with no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Light carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Mild increasing pepper heat through the glass. Overall this is an incredible imperial Mexican spiced stout. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts, cocoa, coffee, cinnamon, peppers, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish; amazingly silky/soft nitro finish. Perfect balance between rich malts, cocoa, cinnamon, fruity/nutty coffee, and pepper flavors; with mild earthy hops and fruity yeast. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering bitter/spicy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
