Canned 1/15/25, drunk 12/5/25, as pictured.
Big port-like sweetness with soft round fruits and lots of caramel. Some bourbon richness atop sweet, round malts. No alcohol noted.
Flavor is similar but is just a bit light and watery, relative to style and for its size. Pushing it on the sweetness with the caramel, raisin, vanilla and grape character all outdoing spicy bourbon or acidity from malt or barrel tannin.

Can thanks to cgarvieuk. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of coffee and vanilla. Taste is more of the same. More like a coffee pale than a stout.

Can thanks to cgarvieuk.
Appearance - golden and mainly clear. Thin white head.
Nose - coffee and light vanilla, some syrup and sponge cake.
Taste - coffee mainly with some honeycomb.
Palate - medium bodied and sweet, then some roast on the finish.
Overall - something like a coffee IPA but heading towards a barley wine or strong ale.

12oz @ Brian's shared with Ryan and Phill.
Aroma: vanilla and coffee, some American oak, a bit of sweetness.
Taste: along the same lines, more on the coffee side, kinda thin, some sweetness, boozy. A bit creamy.
Overall: good.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 02-27-2025; thanks Sammy). Near black with quickly dissipating light tan head. Nutty coffee, vanilla, roast malt, medium body. Seems a bit thin for a 14.6% abv imperial stout.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Opaque dark brown beer, good bubbly dark tan head. Light palate, a bit dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied dark malts but, not short on flavour. Dark chocolate and a little coffee, not sweet. Some alcohol nip in the mid. Dark fruits liberally soaked in bourbon. The various chillis start to warm on the back end. A little chocolate cake and then, frankly a bit of a surprise for me, it all comes together on the light and mildly dry finish. Yeah, these chilli bourbon jobs can often be a mess but, this one is well nuanced and balanced and I was sad when my 100ml was done

Moderately hazed golden orange topped with a lasting white head.

Okay easy drinking IPA.
