13.65 shrink-conomy sized tall boy. Scooped up a few cans. Super drinkable. Kind of a sweet chocolate tone, not really so dry at all. Fully refreshing and enjoyable nonetheless. Rich chocolate, almost cocoa powder tone.

A better, heartier Guinness Draught. Mild notes of chocolate and roast, a lot of bright berry notes, a mild bitterness on the back end. Eh. Not bad, not something I’d seek out again.

Can via Beer Republic. Ful body, low carbonation. Medium sweetness, med-high bitterness. Even llight saltiness, lol weird. Lots of salted caramel, peanut butter and chocolate. Light coffee. Feels a bit over the top, a bit artificial, but ultimately tasty and easy drinking. Overall quite good.

Can from Beer Republic.
A: hazy black, stable, foamy, beige head.
A: 'caffè crema', fondant, chestnut, toast, tobacco.
T: sweetish mocha, fondant, bitter toast, brown bread.
F: earthy hops, bitter coffee & toast, hidden alcohol.
P: medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.
Lacks some body for a genuine Imperial Stout but remains firmly in 'classic' territory. Guinness squared, as it were.

Beautiful as Nitro usually is, black, a head is creamy, quite big and beige. Aroma has liquorice, light roastiness and caramel. Taste has roastiness body, some coffee and bitterness. Almost full bodied, smooth as silk. Maybe too much of roastiness.
