Bottle shared at BBT 05/2023. Surprisingly only med-med-full body, rather high carbonation. Med-high sweetness, medium bitterness. Only a hint of warmth, which is fascinating considering the ABV - it is hidden really well. Maltiness does not feel rich enough. There is moderate candyish caramel, med-light chocolate, med-light coffee, only light hazelnut, hints of vanilla. Good, quite easy drinking, at least relatively so. But I expect something more from pastry imperial stouts.

Aroma: coffee, lactose, cinnamon. Taste: milky coffee, nougat, hazelnut praline, bit empty in body. Full bodied, moderate carbonation, moderate bitterness. A dessert could have been excellent with slightly fuller body.

Dark brown but not much head. Big vanilla, hazelnut, and rich chocolate. Rich body. Big coffee up front, tempered by a lot of sugars, vanilla, hazelnuts. Decadent dessert stout. Damn nice.

650 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of chocolate, vanilla, and creamy soft roasted malts. Flavors follow same with lots of nice syrupy chocolate. Beer? I don't know. Really nice - yes!

On tap at Parallel 49, pours black with a small tan / light brown head. Aroma absolutely explodes with rich dark chocolate - like they melted a slightly sweetened dark chocolate bar in here - damn. Flavour does not disappoint, tasting like liquid dark chocolate, with gentle sweetness. Little roast or anything else to detract from the dark chocolate. I can't really detect any of the other adjuncts. I love this.

Draught at Parallel 49, Vancouver
Black colour. One of the most cocoa forward Imperial Stout I ever had, not sweet, but with some cream flavour too, it tastes like a Vienna coffee.
Very good.
