12 oz bottle from a four pack bought at Costco. Aroma has notes of cocoa, wood, vanilla, molasses, coconut, raisin, smoke, pouch tobacco. Taste is bittersweet with flavors like the aroma descriptors. More bitter than most impy stouts are these days. I haven’t bought this in years, but it doesn’t seem as impressive as it used to be.
