Black. There's no head. The aroma is rich - bourbon, cacao, and then a light vanillin. Big chocolate, the cacao lends great umami, and it's got a bit of alcohol in there as well. Good, solid, top tier imperial stout.

750ml (thx, Shane M.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees, Josh, and Alex.
Aroma: bold, boozy, oak bomb.
Taste: along the same lines, brown sugars.
Overall: ok.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Near black with almost no beige head. Light booze underlay, feint chocolate, molasses, and bourbon notes, nothing really stands out, but it's fairly balanced.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some lacing notes. Aroma of black chocolate notes with some woody bourbon notes and roasted notes. Taste is also a mix of black chocolate notes with some strong woody bourbon notes with some roasted malt and a dry finish. Body is full with oily texture with good carbonation with some strong alcohol notes that are discernible. Heavy barrel-aged stout with strong boozy feel.
