Santa Caws brings you good tidings. The Imperial Stout harkens back to the Christmas days of old when you might find a chocolate orange in your stocking. Savor this rich silky stout with notes of hot chocolate to make merry. A zest of orange flutters on the nose and lightly on the palate with a dash of nutmeg to round out this cup of cheer. Enjoy by the fireside and with friends.

Tavour can: pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is molasses chocolate and orange. Tastes like an orange chocolate bar, but I like this more because alcohol. Fine for what it is.

16oz can. Very dark brown pour, just a brief wispy tan head. Orange and dark chocolate aromas. Sweet and roasty, just short of candyish. Flavors are more orange and tootsieroll notes. Some sweetness but not overly. Great dessert sipper.

Aroma has notes of chocolate, caramel, orange. Taste is moderately sweet with some firm bitterness on the back end that builds on the palate. Prominent flavors of chocolate, orange, toffee, nutmeg, herbal hops. Softy carbonated.

Sweet, artificial orange flavor is a little off

On tap at Spitfire pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is sweet chocolate roast malts and a nice spice kick. Taste is more of the nice sweet chocolate roast malts vanilla spice.

16oz can from Boise Co-op. Near black pour with a filmy beige head. Savory/ sweet aroma, root beer, ginger, orange, not your typical winter spice. Taste is orange, ginger, clove, chocolate. Really, really smooth. I'm enjoying this immensely. My only Christmas wish is for a thicker body on this brew
