16 oz can in a trade with tfontana, thank you. Date odds 5/22/26.
Aroma is very weak tropical fruit with mild herb. Flavor follows with soft tropical fruits that are sort of like pineapple, and a little bit of muted mango. Texture is lightly juicy. Pretty standard. Not completely satisfied, but certainly not dissatisfied either.

Dark brown, medium head, lots of coffee, mild roast bitterness, but the coffee helps mask what seems like a somewhat rough base.

Can (10/30/25) from the brewery. Thick, opaque, inky black with light sparkle, quickly fading head, light viscosity, no lacing. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, molasses. Taste is strong molasses, soft chocolate, earthy, sweet, roasted malt. Smooth, thick texture, full body, finish as taste. No bells and whistles with adjuncts, just a straightforward imperial stout. Appreciate the molasses.

Pour is a cola looking brown with a large tan head. Aroma is toasted wheat bread with a slight sweetness. Flavor is more toasted malt with the sweetness. A finish of metal is felt. Very malty and rich with just the right amount of sweetness. Decent for a style not often found.
