Dark brown pour with a thin beige head. Notes of roasted coffee beans, cold brewed coffee, roasted malts, bitter cherries,dark chocolate. A solid coffee imperial stout, really well-made, nicely balanced, smooth and rich.

Pour is a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice citrus hop with a little pils malt shining through. Flavor is about the same, maybe a bit more malt then hops with the flavor but this was quite tasty. If this was available where I live I would get this all the time.

Can @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color, medium to full sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, liquorice, something odd like anise or something, slightly mint, dark malts and dark malt bitter. A bit odd imo and I don't like it. Meh. The anise really annoys me.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a fruity and floral hop. Flavor is a melon hop with a little honey malt sweetness. A little sweetness and a little bitterness but just enough hop characteristics to make this palatable. Decent beer but not a huge hop to make this more than a above par DIPA.
