The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation...but thin for an Imperial Stout. The flavour was coffee, roasted malt, some caramel, and some vanilla.

330ml bottle <br> 8.0% ABV <br> Best Before: January 2012 <br> Queen's Quay LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> March 8, 2011 <br> The beer poured a solid black with a short-lived tan coloured head.
