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.

Courtesy of Sebletitje. Hmm, what is this then. Pours dark brown with thin tan head. The aroma is inviting with rich chocolate and licorice followed by moderate earthiness. The aromatics come together in harmony breaking your will to wait any longer for that first sip. The taste brings in the same characters as noticed in the nose with creamy and yummy dark chocolate some highly roasted malts and a sliver of black licorice. Very nice stuff. I can drink this all night. Good thing Sebastian brought two of these puppies to the tasting.

courtesy of ba trader. Pours deep black, brownish head. Aroma of nice dark fruits. Taste, lots of dark fruits, light roasted, filled with alcohol. Light chocolate malts, with a very faint hoppy presence. Finish has some light chocolate bitterness, and dark fruits. Rich in flavor, full body, abv just seems to be a lot stronger.

Bottle: Thick, dark brown (near black) pour with a small, creamy brown head. Heavy roast and chocolate flavors permeate the air. Coffee and molasses as well. The flavor is a smooth blend of chocolate and roast. Light amount of coffee. Very creamy, yet the high ABV is detectable. Thanks to The_Epeist for this trade item - a winter stout enjoyed in June!

Rerate from the new bomber under the Russian Imperial Stout label. Pours a dark brown color appearing pitch black in the glass. Small dark brown head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, nuts, caramel and faint fruity notes. Taste is roasted malts, chocolate, tobacco, leafy bitter hops, stone fruits, caramel. Medium-full bodied. Excellent beer, as usual. 7/3/8/4/16

The nose was a sufficiently strong mix of caramel and mesquite. It poured dark and moderately thick. There was very little carbonation. The taste was not as complex as the aroma would have you believe, nor was it as thick. It was sweet and grassy, with charcoal on the edges. The grassy taste returns well after drinking it and stays. I’d say it was a delicious beer, but I’m a bit discriminating when it comes to imperial stouts.

A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of roasted malt and chocolate. The flavor is very sweet with notes of toasted bread, leading to a rather dry end.
