16 ounce can from Tavour. Opaque dark brown pour. Frothy tan head. Sweet, smoky dark malt aroma. Flavor is rich and flavorful. Dark roasted malt, smoke, treacle, warming alcohol. Incredibly smooth for such a big beer. Steveoj has it right; it’s like a Rauchbier and a Altbier rolled up together. Maybe a bit of a Wee Heavy and a thrown in as well. At 14% ABV, this is deceptively strong. A rare rare treat and a rare style. Outstanding!

16 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of marshmallow, a touch of coconut, and toasted malt. Flavour is fairly laid back for an impie, with gentle coconut, soft marshmallow, cocoa, and light-to-moderate sweetness. Not super complex and somewhat lacking body, but there’s pleasant flavours. Decent but quite underwhelming.

Four pack from Smokes and Suds. Aroma has notes of cocoa, chocolate, marshmallow, coconut. Taste is bittersweet and roasty with flavors like the aroma. I like that it’s not overly sweet and has a firm bitterness. Mouthfeel is velvety.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Near black pour yields a thin, creamy beige head which slowly fizzes away. Aroma is very sweet vanilla/marshmallow and what seems like orange hard candy. Taste is dominated by the "marshmallow", very faint coconut notes. Sweet, candy like flavors with some light roasty bitterness all the way at the back. Very disappointed in this, they can do so much better.

Aroma is cinnamon out of the gate, followed by chocolate and roasty malt. Taste is bittersweet like dark chocolate and has a fairly spicy pepper heat. Highly carbonated—more than usual for an imperial stout. A little thin, but good flavors.

Aroma is bready, overripe citrus fruit, slightly vegetal. Taste is bittersweet, finishing dry, with vague fruity hop and bready malt flavors. Softly carbonated.

Aroma has notes of chocolate, caramel, orange. Taste is moderately sweet with some firm bitterness on the back end that builds on the palate. Prominent flavors of chocolate, orange, toffee, nutmeg, herbal hops. Softy carbonated.

16oz can. Thicknslock black pour with a deep mocha colored head. Soft notes of dark roast and coffee and maybe a touch of the maple. Flavors mainly the roastiness. A little dark chocolate and vanilla. Very tasty. Thanks Paul
