8 oz. Draft in a snifter. Aroma is a wonderful coconut, oak and vanilla with bourbon. Flavor is rich. Coconut and roast upfront with soft bourbon and oak in the finish. Body is velvety smooth. Two years old and shows absolutely no flaws or age.

1 pint can. Pours black with moderate tan head. Aromas of coconut milk, chocolate icing and roasted malts. Thin and somewhat bitter and metallic flavors follow same. Not as much joy as I expected.

16 oz. can, pours jet black with a large dark brown head. Aroma brings out cocoa nibs and a touch of coconut upfront, but it's pretty restrained. Flavour is full of liquid cocoa and again a touch of coconut. Not the thickest or most complex pastry imperial stout; certainly not worth the ripoff price ($13/can). But tasty enough.
