Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger beige foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: gingerbread character, some roasted malts, milk chocolate and a nice bump of clean alcoholic/barrel woody tones with a light vanilla
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together sweet, roasty and woody; finishes with the gingerbread, milk chocolate and barrel
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, some smoothness with some barrel spice nipping at the tongue
Overall: very nicely done barrel aged stout I would come back to and if I did I'd probably age the next bottle down a bit longer than this one.
gave a cheers!

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a thin cap of a little tan foamy head. Quickly dissipated to leave subtle lace.
Aroma: gingerbread then the normal characters of an impy stout
Flavor: sweet and semi-spicy through the gingerbread which blends with a great dose of roasty and chocolatey tones; quick gingerbread aftertaste with a little bit of roast
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper, semi-roasty and semi-dry finish
Overall: pretty nicely done impy pastry stout with gingerbread in it. I would have again.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown to black color with a two finger off-white to almost tan foamy head, mild sliding lace
Aroma: maple syrup, pancake doughiness, chocolate malts, and roasty tones
Flavor: sweet and doughy, chocolatey; maple/chocolatey aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, thought this would have been cloying but surprisingly enough it wasn't, sweet mapley/chocolatey finish
Overall: absolutely awesome impy pastry stout, I definitely would have again!

16oz can from my daughter. Nose is chocolate, toasted marshmallows, with cinnamon and nutmeg. Black with a small tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet and spicy. Decent flavor because it’s not sickening sweet.

Can from Trader Joe's Northville. Pours a deep brown to black with a full 2 fingers of beige head that lingers. Big peppermint and dark chocolate aromas right off the rip. Palate shows more peppermint and dark chocolate with some light coffee and vanilla notes. Peppermint and dark chocolate lingers on the finish. Awesome stuff!

12oz? stubby bottle. Consumed 3 years after purchase. Poured a pitch black color. Aroma was amazing apple brandy, still holds up after all this time. Gingerbread still there. No oxidation at all. Still super smooth, maybe even more-so than before. Booze is there, I guess, but well masked for be perfectly honest.
