Super deep dark brown coloured body with an oily off-white head on top, that starts out at about three centimetres and fades to a single centimetre. Aroma of coffee, earth, nuts, a ton of caramelised sugars, a dose of burnt grain and a little touch of alcohol noticeable near the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong lactose and creamy notes at first with a big hit of vanilla noticeable, along with a ton of burnt coffees, some caramelised sugar and toffee with a dose of nuts and earth and ending with a light sweetness and some softer cherry and almost fruitier sweetness. Aftertaste shows a good balance of roasted malts, nuts and a light sweetness from caramel and vanilla. Overall, a very nice and super balanced stout that shows some imperial sides, but the coffee, lactose and caramel notes are by far the strongest, all in a good way. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-November-2018 for US$1,99 sampled at my house in Washington when it was actually snowing on 12-January-2019.
