16 oz can from a 4 pack. Picked up at the local liquor shop. About 22 bucks for the pack, but for a big league, BA imperial stout, I'm not complaining. Dark and dense midnight black pour with a dark tan foam head. Loved the BCBS Bananas Foster, and see a lot of comparable notes here. Bold barrel notes with a semi sweet milk chocolate, banana, and vanilla. It's rich but not bothersome. Cinnamon spice is minimal, but noticeable. Rum linger is both fun and unique. An obvious dessert stout without a cloying pastry sweetness. A very good stout here. Definitely one of the more impressive Elysian offerings in recent memory.
