A severely priced 16 oz can from my local beer supplier, oh well, buy it or don't. The label indicates many adjuncts to the base imperial stout that I like, time to go with the Great Heights snifter. The pour is a dark brown, good beginning, with a temporary head of tan foam, promptly becomes a skim. The scent gives up a lot, I detect marshmallow, chocolate and earth. The drink is full of flavors, just not as complete as I expected. For a 12% abv, it is thin. The flavors are decent but muted, nuts, chocolate, marshmallow certainly, caramel, berries, vanilla and malt. Sweet unquestionably, very much a pastry stout. Not bad, just not the head-turner I hoped for.
