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.

22oz bottle-pours black with a light brown head. Aroma is initial grape/vinuous, followed by chickory/wood. Then raosty dark malt-chocolate/peat. Taste is roasty dark malt-chocolate/peat/chickory/wood, earthy/spice hop bite. Lots of carbonation. Medium body. Not really in the style of a RIS.

Bottle thanks to Jcwattsrugger. Bottle. Russian Imperial Stout label. Pours black with tan head. Nose of pinot grape, roasted malts, cherry smoke and chocolate. Taste of same. More porter than stout. A bit hoppy and earthy for an imperial.

22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Opaque black stout. Almost no head. Light soft palate. Dark unsweet chocolate with a whisper of paint that detracts from the otherwise good flavour. Finishes light and malty and warming.

Pitch black coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malt and some peanuts. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty flavours throughout with a good malt backbone and plentiful amounts of coffee following soon behind. Aftertaste shows some sweet qualities along with a nutty finish. Overall, a damn good stout - especially for wintertime! Definitely worth trying if you can find this one on draught somewhere in the Virginia region. I sampled this beer on draught from Kelly’s Pub in Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 13 January 2007.
