Can, and I'm not a fan of impy stout so flip my numbers when you see them; lower the better fer you. A very pretty dark ass pour, with a sweet wafting aroma. Taste? yes, it is imperial, but like chocolate liquor filled candy; ever have that? Imperial it is but the alky content doesn't stick its rude head up till the middle. Then by now you are feeling a bit dizzy. Yes, now I'm getting a warming sensation all around my pre-digestive track. Big dark chocolate bonzo, hah, bedtime for bonzo. Gets thicker and richer as the session continues. Makes me think of the brain fading tiny things in a kinder joy egg surprise, with brandy!, YEA Label is funny too, first you think its the bottom half of a naked woman then you see its a passed out fox, heheheh. Missing fur? Not sure. In the end it provides the numbing effects suspected from the start. Difficult to sense vanilla but maybe that's what mellows it out? I found it quite civilized considering its high alky content. Not bad for an imperial stout, that is.

Sample at The Daily Growler during the "4 Year Anniversary Festival" on 12/18/2016. Black pour with some brown around the edges, and a medium foamy tan head that diminishes steadily to a film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of roast malt, cocoa, vanilla and coffee. The finish is roasty with a vanilla mocha aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
