Since this was a gift, i decided to be all classy and pour it into a pint glass. Unfortunately i completely ignored the recommended temp, and served mine refrigerated I'm not sure how much of a difference this would make... i'll get to that in a second.
I was a little surprised by the pour, since i'm used to the milk stout that has a moderate, but super creamy head on top. This barely had a head, but what was there didn't dissipate on first pour. The second time i was lazier and there was much more of a noticeable head. At first taste the maltiness is really overwhelming. I'm not used to such a sweet beer overall. It is possible that when it warms up a bit, i'll get a better taste of the different notes in the beer.
The other big thing about this beer is its 10.2% alcohol. Oh wow, its going to be an interesting night.
I didn't buy this, and therefore don't know the cost. So i'll just go with, be adventurous, try it yourself!
