This pint can was found at the Total Wine near Love Field in Dallas. Barrel aging of an imperial stout? This is certainly going the right direction. My only globe glass is getting the tilt of the can tonight, the appearance is of a viscous, fully black body with no head. The scent is, well, it is strong with dark chocolate, wood and alcohol. And the drink follows along closely. Bakers chocolate, grain, sorghum molasses, caramel, bourbon in a heavy influence, fudge and dark fruit. Sweeter than I expected, too much actually. The sensation matches the nose, quite full and dense. I know the booze will kick in later. Very rich, really decadent. This imperial checks a lot of boxes, I would certainly buy again.
