A 12 oz can from my local beer shop, seriously priced for the serving, hope it is worth the while. I am finding this style of imperial stouts is often very sweet and over-flavored from what I like in my basic impy stout. So it is time to proceed. Flip the tab and pour into my favorite globe glass. A mostly black body with a spare skim of light tan, finely bubbled foam that benefits from a steady carbonation. The smell is similar to a black forest cake, uh oh. I have a taste and determine lots of chocolate, vanilla, malt, a bit of grain or nuts and significant sweetness. There is some alcohol in the background, I would have liked that to go past the dessertness. My opinion.

On tap @... On Tap. Very dark brown on black pour. The head cascades & settles in layers. You can see a greasy blend of different foam densities as it settles, it's weird. Maybe the peanut butter was seriously oily. Peanut butter dust & coco nose; Unassuming. Stiff barrel, peanut oil, mellow vanilla, chocolate cake, decent earthy bitterness, very slight char. A little sweet but not terrible. Foamy, thick milkshake, lots of burnt going down. This is surprisingly good.
