Draught at the brewpub. Black with red edges and a brown head. The aroma has coffee, bitter chocolate, and some sweetness; pretty typical roasty stout territory. The flavor is sweet with roasted dark chocolate and slight alcohol. Full body with smooth carbonation. A really drinkable and creamy imperial stout. Surprised me. Plenty of malt and flavor, but everything is controlled and balanced.
