22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 1/28/2016. Pours dense pitch black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky tan head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, raisin, plum, fig, light smoke/char/licorice, herbal, and roast/char earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, raisin, plum, fig, light smoke/char/licorice, herbal, and roast/char earthiness. Light-moderate roast/char and herbal/spicy hop bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, toffee, molasses, toasted dark bread, dark fruit, herbal, and roast/char earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from hop/char bitterness, that increases through the glass. Light-medium carbonation and very full bodied; with a very creamy/silky, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Alcohol is well hidden with a small warmth lingering after the finish, with minimal booziness. Overall this is an awesome Russian imperial stout style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the huge ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.
