The favorite style for Russian Czars of old and still the ultimate heavy dark beer today. Produced with 7 different malts and 3 varieties of hops, we're sure this huge beer will keep you warm on any winter night.

Forgot to check this one in earlier. Tastes much lighter than its ABV.

From the December 2014 3R6P tasting. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with an enormous foamy brown head that left decent lacing. The aroma was tart, dark fruits, a touch of vinegar and somewhat malty. The flavor was tart, tangy and a bit sour with dark fruits, toasty malts and a metallic presence. Long finish. Full and creamy body. Disappointing.

Sample at the tap room (as Imperial Stout). Opaque brownish-black color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of roasted malt and dark chocolate. Medium to full body with flavors of roast malt, molasses and bittersweet chocolate. The finish is roasty with a mocha aftertaste. Above average overall.

22oz bomber from a trade with DoctorB2B, Thanks! Poured into a snifter. Pours black with about 2 fingers of frothy dark tan head. Aroma of coffee, brown sugar and roasty malt. Taste is light bitter and very lightly sweet. Coffee and brown sugar. Medium-full bodied with a thick and creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long brown sugar finish. Overall, this beer is great. I would love to age one of these and try it again.

22oz bomber split with the Madison crew. Smooth chocolate tones, maybe a hint of licorice. Excellent, quite drinkable. Some oily burnt roast. Subdued, mellow carbonation. Some eastern European feels, light pungency. Interesting, not overbearing.

Location: 22 oz bottle from jcos, 12/24/11, as St George Russian Imperial Stout
Aroma: The nose is roasty and sweet, some chocolate, caramel, and a little dark fruit
Appearance: It pours a dark brown-black color with fairly foamy brown head and decent lacing
Flavor: The taste is medium sweet, roasty, with notes of chocolate and caramel, mild-to-mid bitterness
Palate: The body is medium (average for the style), with a smooth, creamy feel, and a soft carbonation
Overall Impression: I put more then a few months of age on this one, but it seemed to hold up pretty well. Thanks, Justin, this was a rather solid RIS. It seemed to be on-style to me. They hit on fairly well at what they were attempting to do here. I would drink this one again.

Black. Very heavily roasted malt, and some soy sauce. Medium palate, but very light flavors and aromas. Disappointing.
