A deep dark stout with a thick dark brown head. In aroma, a smooth herbal coffee, with light chocolate and brine. In mouth, a dry powdered chocolate with coffee grinds, molasses, smooth alcohol, not bad. Tasted Oct. 21 2011 with GRM and Boutip.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a cool, rainy mid-June early evening in Chicago, IL where I might as well drink a cold weather beer. Appearance is pitch black and thick with almost no head, just a tan rim around the glass. Aroma of licorice, roasted malt, coffee, and a light fruit (bananas in a previous review, I agree). Taste is thick, hints of roasted malt and the coffee comes out much more, I can also get the fig in the flavor. Not super thick though, I’ve had thicker RIS’ for sure. A belcher too, not too carbonated but it’s apparent. Not bad stuff, not the greatest RIS out there for sure.

Bottle thanks to MSante79. Pours black with brown head. Nose and taste of burnt chocolate, coffee grounds and roasted malts. Thinnish body.

16 oz pint bottle, twist off sent to me by my 2009 winter Secret Santa. Served in my Stone Imperial Russian Stout tulip. Pour is a hazed black, with a tightly formed one inch khaki head. Minimal oily lacing as the beer drinks down. Aroma is roasty milk chocolate, with a presence of cane sugar. Has a chocolate milkshake smell to it. Soft and natural smelling. Taste is the sweet cane sugar, milk and dark chocolate, roast, bit of char, some soy. Quite a bit going on in the taste, and it’s not necessarily really well integrated. Nice, but a bit too far too the sweet for my tastes. Palate is medium bodied, oily texture, with a charred roast after taste. There is only a whisper of alcohol in the very back. Nice one, thanks for sending this my way Santa.

16oz bottle. Burnt buttery chocolate coffer aroma with some discernable heat. Opaque black with an off-white head. The taste is relatively true to style, with some burnt fig underlying pungency. Sort of like the macro version of the Siberian Night. Certainly comes off stronger than it’s actual ABV. Some nice toffee moss nuances as it wams. Tolerable, but a sub par effort.

Completely pitch black coloured body with a muddy look and a nice dark brown head atop - pretty nice! Aroma of super roasted (burnt) malt, coffee (a la starbucks - again, burnt), caramel, toffee and a bit of deep macadamia nuts. Full-bodied; Suprisingly light grape taste up front, then masked almost entirely with the burnt malt tastes soon after, touched by a tiny bit of honey and caramel. Aftertaste is definitely bittered out by malt, molasses, figs and a touch of licorice. Overall, an overpowering, strong and agressive imperial stout - not my favourite, but showing character and impressionable. I sampled this bottle, aged about two years, purchased in December 2006 from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York, sampled on 10-January-2009 at home in Washington. The bottle was 65 cL with a golden wax seal (that cracked a bit into the bottle)with a small notecard attached.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a very thin light brown foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of black chocolate is pretty intense with some note of roasted malt. Taste is also a mix between some black chocolate and light roasted malt with some spicy notes. Body is a bit thin for the style with some low carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I thought this may lack some complexity but very enjoyable overall.
