473mL can. Pours black. Aroma brings out milk chocolate, coconut, vanilla. Flavour has chocolate, lightly roasted malt, coconut, vanilla. Tastes very nice, but not super complex.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a small tan head and some coconut chunks. Aroma is loaded with tons of coconut, light vanilla and a touch of orange. Flavour has a nice mixture of coconut and orange, with a touch of vanilla. Nice blend of adjuncts, and the base beer is sturdy enough to support it all. Not the most complex pastry imperial stout but well-made. Good.
Good but overly sweet.

Dark brown. Thick head. Vanilla chocolate aroma comes across a bit artificial. Rich, medium body but lots of sugars. The vanilla is definitely blending in with the chocolate here for an interesting character. Not actually getting much orange, but I'm okay with that.

Can. Blackish beer with a brown head. Chocolate and light roast aroma with dark fruits. Dark fruit and chocolate flavor with light coffee, light caramel, and vanilla. Medium-plus bodied. Dark fruit and chocolate linger with light coffee, vanilla, and sweet malt.

Tasting at Salesforce, courtesy of Ryan, can
Black colour, small head. Nice aroma of dark chocolate, vanilla. Full bodied, sweet; chocolate flavour, with notes of orange and vanilla; the elements are not overpowering, well integrated.
Excellent.

1 pint can. Pours a dark brown with short tan head that’s settles quickly. Aromas of woody chocolate, artificial orange and roasted malts. Flavors of milk chocolate, orange syrup and sweet vanilla. Thick, heavy and sweet. Decent

6th December 2021. 4oz pour of this at TAPS Brewery & Barrel Room, Tustin, California; my last beer of the lovely tasting I did with myself while my Son-in-Law went to his 'Gym' (cheers for driving Matt). This is one rich, heavy brew and an ideal nightcap, or for laying down and avoiding if you don't like strong flavoured Stouts! Black creamy body with a smooth tanned topping. Loads of vanilla and orange esters/flavours, pretty sweet overall, which I liked. Thank you Devon for a cracking session.
