Silky but bold imperial stout with notes of dark chocolate mixing with Thomas Hammer Coffee to create a delightful espresso flavor. A sipper for dessert or breakfast, if so inclined.

Can shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Virtually opaque, cola brown, nice viscosity, ring of head, no lacing. Aroma strong, rich, roasted bittersweet coffee. Taste is strong coffee (not as strong as aroma), very faint spice (cinnamon?). Smooth texture, relatively thin texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Basically just getting coffee without anything else but nice coffee Stout.

16 oz can. 12/09/2025. Aroma of roasted malt, mild roasted coffee and chocolate. The coffee character is bold and strong even being 6 months old. Body is a tad lean for the style but still medium. Smoother texture. Pretty good.

Tavour; pours black with beige head. Aroma is cjocolatey coffee, some mellow roasty notes. Pretty smooth and easy for an impy. Not bitter or particularly sweet. Solid but not great coffee giving the adjuncts. Fine.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Dark brown pour, small filmy beige head. Coffee has the edge in the aroma, while chocolate comes out in the taste. Nice balance of dark chocolate and roast coffee, offering some subtle sweet notes too.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a slight creamy tan head. Aroma of extremely nice coffee with some chocolate aspects. Arguably some smooth burnt malt comes through. Full bodied; silky/slick mouthfeel. Flavor is a fabulous mix of coffee, chocolate and smooth burnt malt. Not really very dry. Burnt malt bitter. Heat hits the brain, but not the mouth/throat. Wow. Excellent.

16 oz from the brewery. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, British style stout. Black pour with a small beige head. Taste is moderately bittersweet with chocolate and coffee flavors. Alcohol is hidden extremely well; tastes like it could be in the 6% range. Nice beer.
