Poured from a 16 oz can dated November 02, 2020. Aroma is very fruity with lots of orange zest and pineapple. Lighter vanilla and moderate chocolate notes. Lights alcohol spice. Orange zest has a bit of a sherbet character to it. Pours jet black with a medium small, thick, creamy, dark, mocha head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with moderate chocolate malt and caramel notes with lighter roast. Moderately strong bitterness and moderate alcohol spice. Medium light orange zest and pineapple notes and lighter vanilla. Fruit notes get a bit stronger as the beer warms. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid imperial stout. I'm not usually a fruited stout can, but this is pretty solid. I wish the beer had more body to it which I think would also help hide a bit more of the alcohol.
