Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: very dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of an off white foamy head which dissipated inward to barely leave any lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans and light caramel tones
Flavor: leans sweet at first but seems to balance between the roast and the sweet, finishes sweet and roasty
Texture: medium bodied, sturdy sipper, fairly smooth along the tongue, very little roasty harshness
Overall: a very nicely done impy stout very worthy of returning to if I could.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: amber in color with a nice transparency about it, one finger white foamy head slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy hops, piney hops, light honey and a clean biscuity maltiness
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet blend; finishes with pine, a touch of honey and light biscuits
Texture: medium bodied, surely a sipper, pretty smooth along the tongue, very little hop bitterness
Overall: nicely done West coast styled DIPA more than worthy of returning to if I could.

2015 bottle shared by Shawn. Glass mug at The chapel hill tasting.
Dark oily brown on black, strong & stiff maple head.
All I get on the nose is oak milk & a little maple.
Roasty, burnt sugar, lingering fuzzy pine hops, slight milky mouthfeel. Constant soft carb.
Very good.
