Brewery draught, 8/26/23. Dark, clear. Tan head clumped on edges. Light cardamom, light alcohol, oily roast, light licorice. Doesn't smell excessively sweet, so that's encouraging. That said, it also doesn't smell like much more than alcohol and cardamom... Rich, fluffy, creamy, wow. That's incredibly creamy; possibly the creamiest stout I've had. Vanilla is mellow and flavorful. It's malty, sweet, but balanced by gentle roast and spicy cardamom. Coconut is fruity and tasteful. Lots of spice lingering and a bit of glue-like alcohol and mild roast.
