Can (2/21/24) pour from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque black with light sparkle, fizzy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is sweet, earthy malt and cacao. Alcohol in the background (less as warms). Taste is strong, sweet malt/sugar with roasty, earthy, molasses character. Hint of dark fruit in background. Smooth, thick texture w/medium body, soft carbonation and finish as taste with dry, lingering light bitterness. An imperial stout with candy sugar--sweet? Naaaahhhh! As expected but cacao is muted.
