Dark brown with orange highlights and a medium sized foamy tan head. Swett and toasty with caramel, tobacco, vegetal malt, wood and faint astringency. Very long finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Big chocolate aroma. Bold and bitter, a bit boozy, maybe slightly thinner than I’d like. Love the bottle art.

Caramel, molasses and coffee accompany dates and figs in an olfactory sprinkled with alcohol. Black and opaque liquid covered with a creamy and persistent mocha foam. A thinner-than-average texture and body brings intense roasting elements reminiscent of strong coffee and dark chocolate. The finish presents us with a good roasting bitterness with a slight presence of alcohol. A few peppery notes, earthy hops and light black fruits complete the whole thing. The texture and lack of body influence the complexity of malt flavours. Carbonation is also slightly more active than average. Slight lack of character with a complexity below average. Good to taste but rather standard as Imperial Stout. Caramel, mélasse et café accompagnent des esters de dattes et de figues dans un olfactif saupoudré d’alcool. Liquide noir et opaque recouvert d’une mousse moka bien crémeuse et persistante. Une texture et un corps plus mince que la moyenne nous amène des éléments de torréfaction intenses rappelant le café fort et le chocolat noir. La finale nous présente une bonne amertume de torréfaction assortie d’une légère présence d’alcool. Quelques notes poivrées, des houblons terreux et de légers fruits noirs complètent le tout. La texture et le manque de corps influencent la complexité des saveurs de malt. La carbonatation est également un peu plus active que la moyenne. Léger manque de caractère avec une complexité en deçà de la moyenne. Bonne au gout mais plutôt standard comme Stout Impériale. O :8.725 V :4.75 G :6.1 B :2.25 O :13.9 T :35.725

Alcohol and butterscotch with a touch of cherries are expressed in a low-power olfactory. The liquid is coppery reddish, noticeably clear with a lot of bubbles escaping from it. The foam is thick, well-formed and persistent. The flavors of caramel range in a rather strong alcohol feel for its advertised degree. Accents of cherries, prunes and earthy hops. The body is lighter than average, which has the effect of giving a waterier feel and diluting the malted flavors of caramel. The effervescence is also more intense than usual for this style. Beautiful technical qualities, good taste, but a slight lack of roundness, a slightly lively effervescence and a rather linear complexity. Alcool et butterscotch agrémenté d’une touche de cerises s’expriment dans un olfactif de faible puissance. Le liquide est cuivré rougeâtre, très limpide avec quantité de bulles qui s’en échappent. La mousse est épaisse, bien formée et persistante. Les saveurs de caramel s’étendent dans un alcool plutôt fort pour son degré annoncé. Accents de cerises, de pruneaux et de houblons terreux. Le corps est plus léger que la moyenne, ce qui a pour effet de donner une sensation plus aqueuse et de diluer les saveurs maltées de caramel. L’effervescence est également plus relevée qu’à l’habitude pour ce style. O: 8.583 V: 4.717 G: 7.815 B: 3.242 O: 14.25 T: 38.607

12oz can at the DC Spring RB Tasting. Poured a very dark brown color with a small, creamy light tan head. Aroma was light roast, some toasted malts, chocolate. Flavor was similar, light semi-sweet roasted malts. Decent standard milk stout.
