Can from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is boxed chocolate cake mix, with hazel nut extract. Good mouth feel, solid carb. Low bitterness, fake cocoa sweetness, with a semi dry hazelnut cake mix finish. Not awfu, but I won't be going back.

Pours a clean dark brown with coppery-ruby highlights, a big frothy-creamy light-beige head, good stay and leaving lots of creamy lacing streaks. Big artificial chocolate and hazelnut sweet nose. Cacao powder in the taste with some decent bitterness from the hops. This really takes away from the sweetness of the aromas. Nutty background with the chocolate malts. A little easier to drink than their Spiced Rum Imperial Stout I just had, but still not one to go back to.
