On tap into tulip glass at Jimmy's Culpeppers. Appearance is opaque black, no apparent sparkle, 2-finger width creamy light brown head with good retention and rings of soapy lacing around the glass. Aroma is mild roast, dark fruit. Taste is similar to aroma, not as rich/decadent as I was expecting. Palate is medium-to-full bodied with smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation and nice finish. Overall, the appearance and palate were stellar but the aroma and flavor were pleasant but not terribly strong nor complex.

Pours a thick black from a can. Aroma is a big leather and chocolate, with a faint hit of licorice. Flavor is intensely thick malts, chocolate notes. This is a thick and oily impy stout, could age well. Pretty good beer.
