Like a sip of awesome from the fountain of amazing. Chocolate dominates the nose, but comes in with balance to harmonize with the roasted malts. Black-black body, foamy dark-tan head. A great mouthfeel accompanies full-bodied taste and texture. The alcohol comes through, but in a complimentary way. Will always keep a keen eye out for this one.

Pure Black in color. Dark tan head. Dark roasted malt dominates the nose with some sweet toffee underneath. Big, rich, and full bodied. Strong roasted malt and coffee and chocolate flavors up front with hoppy bitterness in the finish. High ABV is nice and warming. Gets even smoother as it warms a little. Ranks up there with the all time best.

Jet black and full-bodied, this robust Russian Imperial Stout will not disappoint those who desire what an Imperial has to offer. Full, rich flavors of roasted malts throughout the velvety texture are accompanied by subtle notes of subtle notes of plum. An ass-kicking 9.8% ABV.

An excellent American Russian Imperial Stout, with a full sweet flavor in the palate. Yummy chocolate coffee notes, dark malt texture, and sweet pleasant aroma completes this best tasting Imperial Stout I've had! With a high 10% ABV, you can't ask for more.. Cheers from sunny Southern California USA! 12/9/13

Very good. A bit sweet. Could use more complexity. I think it would age very well.
