Stripes is a Neapolitan Imperial Stout, or as Travis likes to call it, a Metropolitan or Metro Stout. This Stout is a young male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste. So much so that each flavor in your classic Neapolitan comes through in stunning and meticulous fashion.

Can thanks to Rob. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong cocoa, vanilla, roast. Slick body, vanilla, strawberry cream, dark chocolate, bitter roast, boozy finish, very good.

Large can split at Philippe tasting. Black syrup with no head. Nose is delicious sweet mocha, chocolate, cake, candy. Sweet chocolate cake, candy, mocha, chocolate truffles, vanilla dash, strawberry is low but lots of delicious sweet chocolate mocha, very nice beer, oddly drinkable.

16oz can pours a cola brown with some beige head. Nose has an odd jalapeno note right off the top, that opened to a freeze dried strawberry/astronaut ice cream thing, malt, chocolate, vanilla, more sherbet. Really does smell like neopolitan ice cream. Flavor is sweet, clearly, chocolate and vanilla, caramel and strawberry jam, plenty of milkshake, some mocha. Finishes creamy and sweet but pretty drinkable despite the adjuncts and high ABV. A treat.

16oz can. Poured a dark brown, almost pitch black color with a small tan head. aroma was dark chocolate, some strawberry notes. Flavor was similar to a dark chocolate covered strawberry. Creamy, strawberry milkshake character. Really pleasant. Very nice and easy to drink for 15%.
