Can, 473ml. Almost black with a cm of tan head that crackles away at a fair clip. Floaty roasty aroma with caramel, chocolate and then vanilla. The the taste kind of works the other way - vanilla first, then chocolate and caramel, then roast and spiced bitterness. Not remotely like an imperial stout but I did like its balance.

Pint can from Woodman's Appleton, 4/22/22. Dark brown (poor lighting so I'm not sure of the exact color). Medium fizzy brown head, poor retention. Beer looks thicc. Aroma of strong coffee with roast and dark chocolate. Taste is maple, coffee, roast, chocolate. Description says vanilla and cinnamon. I get faint hints of vanilla and the texture of, but not the taste of the cinnamon. Well, the cinnamon does grow as it warms. A bit of tartness. Well balanced. Very nice beer.

This is extraordinary!

Enjoyed at home after a weekend wedding trip. Wow this is pretty good and smooth. Blueberries are apparent in the nose and flavor, light bite on the backend, moderate booziness. Rich in chocolate, light hazelnut notes as well.
