Awesome beer and it is in a freakin can!

Looks like motor oil, but tastes like heaven. Monster of a brew, not nearly as viscous and hard to finish as Goose Island Bourbon Country.

Roasty, malty, molassesy. Super dark and syrupy. Very good.

Black as night, thick like molasses, slight smoky taste. Goes down like syrup and coats your mouth with its flavor. Very sweet and full. Not too sure how to rate this since I don't have anything to compare it to in the same style... This beer is enjoyable, but not a beer I could drink all night.

Extremely dark brown almost black in color with thin khaki head that leaves nice amounts of lace. Poured into chalice. Molasses, bittersweet chocolate and coffee aromas comprise a wonderful harbinger of the flavors to come. Initial tastes of sweet burnt sugar, thick molasses and heavy malt. Bittersweet chocolate and coffee grounds back end provide a nice thick lingering finish. Hides its high 10.5% ABV quite well. Full body with a thick motor oil consistency and next-to-no visible carbonation. A beautiful Imperial Stout that is a prime example of the style. Delicious brew that is an experience worth having.

Full body and full flavor; I'm also a fan of canned craft beer.

A beer you have to chew. Super rich, creamy and complex. Looks like used motor oil but flavor packs a bigger punch!

Tastes like toffee and roasted coffee beans. Goes great with very charred meats, I recommend NY strip with a whole grain mustard and brown sugar glaze. Great food beer.

Full body imperial stout with nice chocolate and licorice notes. However, the high ABV level definitely gives a stong astringent bite to the finish.

Had a blind tasting with this, Great Lakes Blackout, and Founders Imperial. We all thought it was the Founders, and unanimously voted it the best. Imagine our surprise when we found out the smoothest, smokiest, deepest stout of the bunch was actually the one from the can! Really fantastic stout.
