Can shared by McBerko. For me, this was the only decent beer that he shared from the brewery. The yeast is very strong dusty. Not very Imperial Stout but like a watered down English take, more like a double brown. Little black malt ash comes out. Some biscuit buckwheat. Low bitterness. Atypical but nice 737315

12 oz bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out medium toasted malt, some chalk and sludgy cocoa. Flavour is a little more palatable, with cocoa, medium roast and chalky notes. Not the most cohesion here. Meh.

Poured from a bottle it is a dark brown with a slight head. The aroma is coffee and some boozieness. The taste is a strong coffee flavor with hints of chocolate and a finish with booze and licorice.
