473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a small, creamy, long lasting, light brown head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, coffee, earth and a hint of smoke. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, lactose, caramel, molasses, licorice, earth and oats in a dry, mild bitter, coffee finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and well made.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 6/30/2020. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted oats, biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, cocoa, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted oats, biscuit, and dark/brown bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, woody, peppery, roast, charred bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted oats, biscuit, dark/brown bread/crust, licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, cocoa, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great roast/lactose/hop bitter/sweet balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.5%. Overall this is an excellent imperial milk stout. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, cocoa, and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Great soft/silky feel, and not overly bitter/charred. Great rich/well rounded malt, oats, lactose, and cocoa nib flavor complexity; with solid earthy hops and restrained fruity yeast. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on English style example as expected. No complaints.
