16oz can from Brewer's Haven. Near black pour, fizzy beige head leaves a small creamy layer of foam. Aroma is dry powdered cocoa, mellow. Taste adds a touch of bitterness, roasty, chocolate, caramel. Very soft and approachable for 9%>

16 oz can from Special Brews. Really fun brew that is definitely more intense and flavorful than the regular version. Toasty front, plenty of caramel and dark chocolate notes. Caramel coffee throughout. Toasty, salted caramel chocolate treat finish. A feel like this is less sweet than I would expect. Cream body. Really tasty brew in between bold stout and dessert beer. Very nice.

On tap at The Beer Junction, pours black with a small beige head. Nose reveals gentle floral notes and cocoa. Flavour is fairly simple for an impie, with moderate toasted malt, some cocoa, a little coconut creamer, floral notes, and red fruits. Gently sweet and fruity finish, revealing more of that creamer character. Not the most sophisticated beer. Still solid.
