Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice large dark brown foamy head. Aroma of rich black chocolates notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is a fantastic mix of rich black chocolate notes with some vanilla notes, some residuals sugar notes and some nice bourbon notes that smooth out any rough edges from this beer. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation and alcohol is not overly apparent. Fantastic complex mix while still keeping an excellent level of drinkability. Re-rate 2018: Still as enjoyable and the original pastry stout. This one tastes like smores.

Draft - Believe all the hype. Vanilla, sweet bourbon, marshmallow and nice sweet roast. Viscous as they all are and incredibly rich on the pallet. Sticky and sweet, but quite tasty.

On tap at RateBeer Best. It pours dark brown with a brown head. The aroma is full with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream. Massively sweet to the point of being sugary. The flavor is the same with a good dose of chocolate and vanilla. The alcohol notes are strong, but it serves this kind of beer well by cutting the huge sweetness. Very thick bodied and somewhat port-like. It goes down warming and satisfying. One of the sweeter beers at this festival, but it was ultimately very fun stuff to drink. Hardly any roasted malt or bitterness.

Draft sample at 2015 RateBeer Best festival. This may have had the largest lines of the day. At one point right after tapping it was 45 minutes. I decided not to wait, but about an hour later they were still pouring with 5 minute waits, so I got myself a couple of samples. Pours is inky black with a very small dark brown head and minimal lacing. Aroma is over the top marshmallow, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate. Its like a desert topping. Flavor is light bitter, fully sweet, hella marshmallow again. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. This is pretty grate in small doses. Holy hell.

Tap at RBBest2016. Pours black with a tan rim. Aroma of vanilla; chocolate; dark treacle. Very full bodied. Flavor is really smooth brown sugar/dark treacle/vanilla. Not dry, mildly bitter. To f..king die for.

Poured from a 2015 bottle. Aroma is marshmallow and chocolate. Some light roast and bourbon notes. Hints of alcohol. Very sweet. Pours a viscous black with almost no head, but light head on the edges. Light lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with some moderate chocolate notes. Tons of toasted marshmallow with some vanilla. Light alcohol spice. Light oak and medium light bourbon. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low to low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, so much vanilla! Very sweet with some light bourbon notes. Light dark fruit notes. Pretty torn on how I feel about this beer.

Bottle at THT massive thanks to kermis. Black with short lasting light brown head. Marshmallow, vanilla, bourbon, massive chocolate, Rum, loads of sweet high end chocolate, sugared coffee, molasses, syrup, loads of sugar and different kinds of chocolate. Super sweet. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Massive stuff. Extremely sweet, which takes away slightly from the insane desert aroma, but one of the most insane imperial stouts I’ve ever had. Incredible.
