Imperial stout brewed with vanilla & cacao nibs. Primordial malts mingle beneath a chocolatey bite and high notes of soft vanilla smoothness. Whatever it is, your ancestors have dealt with it before.

440ml can. Pours black with a brown head disappearing immediately. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, roast, vanilla. Taste of chocolate and vanilla, somewhat sweet but also quite roasty, caramel, decent bitterness. Medium-full bodied. Doesn't seem overly sweet or smooth so question the lactose addition, and speaking of that, ingredients only shows lactose, so no sign of the vanilla or cacao nibs. Curious what's actually in this beer. Either way, it's quite decent, but not all that memorable.

TCBW2025. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is nutty, some toasted and a bit alcohol sweetness along with some chocolate and vanilla. Flavour is alcohol, some nutty tones with mild toasted elements as well as some slight raisins too.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Green session), pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is very dry, with soft cocoa, bready malt, not much else. Flavour doesn’t seem like an imperial: there’s notes of cocoa, bready malts, and caramel. Not offensive but the malt character is lacking.
