2025. Dark brown, bubbly head. Sweet, oily, some great dark sugar notes, a bit of alcohol, nice coffee…the way this works with the sugars is kind of like one of the unflavoured Mr Brown coffees.

On tap at Highland Park, pours black with a small brown head. Nose brings out earthy coffee upfront, with moderate roast, and a bit of subtle fruity esters. Flavour is rich and complex, with medium-high sweetness, molasses, and medium roast coffee. Sweet and coffee-dominated. Not the most complex imperial stout but it's really nice.

Can. Nose is huge coffee, honey, nuts, chocolate, cocoa. Black and shiny. Very sweet, with berries, chocolate, coffee, honey. Oily and slick. A bit strangely sweet and fruity for a coffee stout.
