16 oz can. Pours a dark brown with a light head and a few floaters. Aromas of caramel and bready malts. Flavors of root beer, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, brown sugar and bready malts. Flavors hit the intention. Sweet and heavy

16 oz. can from Total Wine - Melbourne. Pours a clear dark root beer color with a thick beige head and great retention. Great lacing too. Yup, looks like a mug of root beer. Medium chocolate aroma. Dark malt flavor, but not a roasted malt, and bitter chocolate. The vanilla bean is more evident in the mouthfeel than the flavor, keeping the imperial edge in check. The 8.7% ABV is evident and takes away from the enjoyment. Not sweet enough. Fairly bitter finish. Medium body. Low carbonation. Decent, but disappointing.
