Can thanks to Stuu. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of coffee, chocolate and leather. Taste brings the sourdough. Sweet finish.

Can at home, 15th December 2025. First imperial stout from Jester King and it’s excellent - looking forward to being back at the farm in February.

Black tar color pour. Thin foam around the glass. Scattered lace. Dark chocolate, vanilla, and coffee with a root beer palate. Pretty intense.

Pint can for 5.99 - thank you, Jester King for not selling this for 12 bucks a can like every other brewery in the universe - mostly black pour - thick, but fizzy and short-lived tan head - nose is simultaneously cloyingly sweet but also with moderate umami - some coffee and cream - medium-full body, though the finish is lightly thin - fairly sweet, especially in the finish - chocolate, coffee, light smoke, light umami - finish brings some bitterness and light tannic character - it has it’s weaknesses but is overall solid, especially at the price point.
