Can - pours a dark brown with a quickly diminishing head - looks like cola - for an imperial stout from this brewery, that is unusual - they usually pour black and viscous - nose is nearly 100% coffee, which by itself is not bad (I love coffee), but it smells sharp and acidic - underneath is sweet vanilla and chocolate - mouthfeel is slightly slick - medium to full body - much like the nose, the flavor is dominated by coffee - very acidic coffee, sharp, bitter - slight vanilla underneath and some chocolate, but the finish is particularly bitter and abrasive - I usually love their imperial stouts, but this one is a miss for me - maybe that’s why it was only 6 bucks a can?

Pint can. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a smallish white head that slowly fades away. The aroma is cereal grains, herb and some mild citrus. The taste is grass, grains, and some bitter herbs. The palate is light and crisp. Finished short and dry. Overall: Decent Pils

Smoke dominates everything. Also pick up a little malt and is bittersweet with a slightly soft mouth.
