Can from Holiday Market. Pours a deep chestnut brown with a finger of tan head that dissipates. Big nose of milk chocolate, cacao and graham crackers. Fairly thick on the palate with marshmallow cream, roasted malt and coffee with some brown sugar and cacao that lingers. Sweet, but some roasty bitterness that lingers on the palate. Booze is pretty well hidden.

12 ounce can into snifter, canned on 11/14/2018. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, nuts, graham cracker, toasted biscuit, and dark bread; with light notes of licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, marshmallow, cocoa, graham cracker, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, nuts, graham cracker, toasted biscuit, and dark bread; with light notes of licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/peppery hop and roast/char bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, marshmallow, vanilla, cream, nuts, graham cracker, toasted biscuit, dark bread, light licorice/molasses, smoke, char, herbal, pepper, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, marshmallow, cocoa, graham cracker, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome roast/hop bitter/sweet balance; and no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/char bitterness. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 10%. Overall this is a fantastic flavored imperial stout! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, marshmallow, cocoa, graham cracker, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the ABV, with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Amazing balance of rich malts, marshmallow, cocoa, and graham cracker flavorings; with nice earthy hop presence against sweetness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing dessert style example as expected.
