Can, from the brewery. Pours opaque dark brown with a small frothy tan head, coffee aroma laced with strong spirits, low carbonation, semibitter coffee taste with strong alcohol overtones, smooth body, long coffee finish with alcohol aftertaste. Quite boozy.

16 oz. can sent in February for my comment. A nice warm Imperial stout nose, alcohol in unashamed here. Tan parfait layer of foam that dwindles to just a ring around the glass quickly. I can smell a nice chocolate and coffee roast along with the alcohol warmth. Taste is a little roastier than one might like. I can see some time in a barrel may smooth it out nicely. Sips very easily, though. Some sour cherry comes in a further down the can. I admit I've stuck so many imperial beers in my cellar and found they sometimes go stale, so it's informative to get one reasonably fresh.
