Can: Poured a black color stout with a medium size brown foamy head with light retention and some lacing. Aroma of chocolate malt with cocoa and with some tingling spicy notes. Taste is a mix of cocoa and chocolate malt with some tingling spicy notes from the habanero. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Perfect balance between spicy and chocolate notes.

Brown colour with ruby-amber highlights, a big creamy-frothy warm-beige head, very long stay and full thick lacing. Cacao aromas blending with the roasted malt base, and hints of spiciness, but more vanilla. The habanero apprears in the taste, much, much more. Very nice spicy warming that lingers. The chocolate and roasted barley is still present in the background. I get a tad bubblegum in this as well, which just sweeten things a bit. Not as thick mouthfeel as expected, and the drying finish is well done. A very nice peppery, warming, spicy, dry Imperial Stout that is fine as the snow stays.
