Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is coffee, coconut, chocolate, light roast. Taste is coffee, coconut, chocolate, sweet, but well-balanced in its own way. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Okay.

500 ml bottle into snifter; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours dense opaque dark brown/black color with a 2 finger dense/creamy/fluffy khaki head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Amazing appearance. Aromas of big milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, coconut, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, coconut, vanilla, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, coconut, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of molasses, licorice, raisin, prune, cherry, fig, date, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Light pine, herbal, woody, grassy, peppery hops; and roast, charred, coffee bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, dark roasted coffee, coconut, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, cream, roasted nuts, toasted biscuit, dark bread/crust, molasses, licorice, dark fruit, smoke, charcoal, leather, tobacco, herbal, wood, grass, pepper, pine, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, coconut, vanilla, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/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. Medium carbonation and fairly full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 11.5% after the finish. Overall this is an amazing flavors imperial stout. All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, lactose, coconut, vanilla, coffee, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on with the mellowly bitter/charred/drying finish. Amazingly balanced between super rich malts, lactose, coconut, vanilla, and fruity/nutty coffee complexity; with nice earthy hop presence/balance against sweetness, and restrained fruity yeast. A highly enjoyable offering, and top tier style example. One of their best stouts so far.
