16 oz. bottle shared at Ashley's house. Thanks Ashley! Light coffee and strong booze aroma. Pitch black pour with a small beige head and fair retention. Sweet coffee and sweet molasses stout flavor. Definitely a pasty stout. Smoother than expected. A bit more molasses and booze flavor than I like. Okay.

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours hazy gold with a very large foamy white head that laced down. Aroma is peach and pineapple. Med body at least. Almost dry; barely sour; fruity. Peach, pineapple and some sort of herb. Pale malt base. Quite quaffable.

Aromas are dark malt, cocoa, a bit of roast and dirty socks. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, more sweet than bitter with soft carbonation. A touch of anis in there. Probably the best beer I've ever had from this brewery.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a pretty thick off-white head, around three centimetres tall. Aroma of deep sugars with some brown sugar, light molasses and a good deal of chocolate all noticeable, but the malt and alcohol are strong as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malts show at first with a lot of chocolate and other sweetness, but the malts provide enough support here, with a good kick of bitterness from the grainy side of the malts and some burnt sugars as well. Aftertaste shows some lactose and creaminess with a light dose of vanilla here as well, but the chocolate comes out pretty strongly afterwards and gives off a nice sweetness to couple with some molasses notes, all showing some (not the full amount) alcohol burn towards the end. Overall, a pretty nice Imperial Stout with a very rich characteristic from the malts, but the sugars, especially the chocolate and molasses provide some relief from the richness and a light bitterness balances things out nicely. Overall, a pretty nice beer with a good sweetness, but nice balance - not too rich and not too sweet, but enjoyable throughout. Good to sample, especially in the Christmas season! I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from Trader Joe's in Washington (West End/Georgetown), D.C. on 24-November-2021 for US$3,99 sampled just over a year later at my Mom's house in Manassas, Virginia on Christmas Day 2022 with my wife and three kids celebrating the holiday.
