Pint can. Pours a nearly opaque brown color with a small beige head that slowly fades away. The aroma is rather mild an indistinct with traces of winter spices cloves and nutmeg. The taste is winter spices, some pecans, medium roasted malts and a bit of bitter cocoa. The palate is medium in viscosity and the carbonation soft. Finishes short and dry with lingering spices. Overall: Pretty much what I expect from a beer that is called a winter warmer. Good but forgettable.

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?
