3.6 Growler, shared by devman171, thanks! Black pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is creamy, milky and full of coffee. Flavor is sweet, creamy, with a hint of coffee and loads of caramel. Smooth and well balanced. Easy going and a bit thin for an imperial stout. But if you drink it as a normal stout it’s lovely.
