Cans

of imperial stout are OK. This particular stout is quite yummy. It's thick, black and completely opaque. There's very little head, but what's there is a dark tan color.

The aroma is surprisingly restrained. There's a bit of roast malt, but the aroma is really lacking otherwise. I'd much prefer at least a hint of hops and a more pronounced maltiness in the nose.

Flavor is all roast malt, with a bit of alcohol warmth. It finishes fairly dry, but not overly so. Pretty well balanced.

Overall, a nice beer. Not the best imperial stout I've had, but not the worst either. If I needed a beer in a can for some reason, this wouldn't be a bad choice.
