All the ingredients I appreciate in an imperial stout and from a Texas brewery. My pint can was found at Mr. T's the local beer shop. The Cowtown snifter is down from the shelf to catch the pour on this one. I'll tell you, that is a black body I'm seeing. The head is mahogany, very slender. I take a sniff from the glass, cocoa, vanilla and caramel, nice I think. The drink, well, it is all right, a bit sweeter than I prefer but still. Dark chocolate, pecans, vanilla significantly, toffee, malt and burnt grain. Really dense, a good sensation in my estimation. Slightly boozy, I expected more based on the ABV. A pretty fine impy stout, could have been better without the extreme sweetness.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Black, minimal head. Rich aroma of dark chocolate, port, vanilla and wood. Sweet with full body and soft gentle mouthfeel. Silky caramelly chocolate, licorice and lots of bourbon. A truely excellent base beer, but the addition of vanilla is creating a cloying sensation - pretty much like add ketchup to a fine meal. Warming bitter finish.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, with a tiny off-white head. Aroma is toffee, liquorice, some vanilla, mild wood and some spiciness with a bit chocolaty and syrupy tones. Flavour is dried fruits, some wood, mild alcohol burn with some spiciness and vanilla with a bit of spices and some chocolaty and roasted tones.
