TSAR is rich and powerful, a full bodied Imperial Stout. Malty chocolate, mocha and dark berry fruit-notes preside over a subtle hop profile, whilst a smooth velvety texture in the mouth gives way to a lingering bitter, dark chocolate finish.

On tap @ Kick. Dark, dark brown, almost black body with a nice looking, dense, beige head. Aroma has dark medium roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, dry fruit and hint of pine. Flavor is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, fruit, berries, pine and good bitterness. Fine body and good, long lasting aftertaste. Very smooth and rich flavored Imp. stout without overdoing anything. Great beer.

Buxton’s RIS, shared by Jan, cheers! Thick, dense, creamy, beige head over a jet black beer. Aroma of charcoal, unsugared bitter chocolate, toasted walnut, soy sauce, mocha, dried fig, black pepper, touch of smoked herring, cigar ashes, biltong, dried seaweed, nutmeg. Very umami taste in onset, meaty and dried mushroom accents, very little sweetness, soft background blackberry sourish touch, soft carbo, very thick, fat, oily mouthfeel, supple and not too ’heavy’, deep dark bitter maltiness, bit ashy, unsweetened chocolate and mocha again, roasted bitterness in the end reinforced by a strong dosis of peppery, spicy hop bitterness, some warming whisky-like alcohol in the end. Very dry, roasted, charcoal-like and somewhat demanding, but highly enjoyable example of the style.

Draught @ BBB. Pours viscous black with a small mocha head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toasted cereal, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, mineral rich soil, molasses and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, heavy bitter and malty. Mouthfeel is round, tiny viscous, roasted astringent, slightly boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and heavy bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, dark roast coffee, bitter chocolate, dried pine needles, moist soil, molasses and hints of alcohol. Straightforward tasty imperial stout.

Bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma is full of bitter dark grains with roasted malts and a slight dark fruit note. Flavor has dark grains through out with a decent amount of bitterness and some chocolate and roast supporting.
