Got in a BIF from MacMalt. 750 ml bottle into snifter, no bottle dating. Pours dense opaque dark/brown black color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing cling on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla frosting, whipped cream, nutty coffee, toffee, marshmallow, fudge, cake batter, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla, cocoa, lactose, and light-moderate coffee notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla frosting, whipped cream, nutty coffee, toffee, marshmallow, fudge, cake batter, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of molasses, smoke, dark fruit, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, caramel, vanilla frosting, whipped cream, nutty coffee, toffee, marshmallow, fudge, cake batter, toasted dark/brown bread, light molasses/smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla, cocoa, lactose, and light-moderate coffee flavors; with a solid roast/hop bitter/sweet balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. 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 10.5%. Overall this is a fantastic imperial milk/dessert stout! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, vanilla, cocoa, lactose, and light-moderate coffee flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Never overly sweet despite low bitterness. Extremely rich and complex; with balanced malts, cocoa, vanilla, and lactose. Not a ton of coffee, but solid presence. A highly enjoyable offering.
