Pours black, no real head. Scent is pure peanut goodness. Intense, chocolate, roast. bit bourbon, perhaps ? Taste is full, smooth, roasty. Definately to the hot side, milder on the oak though. Roasted peanuts. Hazelnuts are fairly hidden, but provide some backbone. I would have enjoyed them a bit more outspoken - and the beer a bit less hot.

Draft pour enjoyed at Cycle, St. Pete. Pours a dense, midnight black, with a quick fading, dark head. Almost as fwrk as the beer. Really nice aroma of bold hazelnut and dark chocolate. Whiskey notes blended in as well. Flavor is a bolder than expected blend of nutty chocolate and smooth whiskey. Long lasting hazelnut and chocolate peanut butter. Such a smooth imperial stout here. It has a bite, but ends ultimately smooth and delicious. A dessert beer in the imperial category that totally works for my taste. Some vanilla like background. Strong impressions, but not nearly to the advertised potency. Incredible brew here.
