Spreading our unique style of darkness once again is Maliciously Viscous, an Imperial stout brewed with lactose and six pounds of whole vanilla beans. At 10% ABV, Maliciously Viscous is dangerously drinkable, thanks to a nuanced roast in every sip, balancing fluffy notes of marshmallow, vanilla, and toasted macadamia nut.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated to leave some light lace.
Aroma: big vanilla sweet tones, roasty coffee character, toasted nuts, marshmallow, milk chocolate, milk sugar
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a very nicely done sweet and roasty level; finishes roasty and sweet through the coffee and nuts to the vanilla and marshmallow vibes
Texture: medium bodied, fair smoothness along the tongue; leaning towards the sipper side
Overall: a very nicely done imperial pastry stout I would very much welcome again.

Tap at University of Beer in Vacaville, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a small tan head. Aroma of vanilla and dark malt. Near full bodied. More dry than not. Flavor is dark malt, vanilla and lactose. Nice.
