On tap chez gibb in rouyn Noranda. Jet black pour mm beige head. Intense Aroma of roasted, burnt malts and strong dark, almost burnt coffee. Silky mouth feel, luscious carb. Finish is medium to highly bitter, with a strong coffee finish, and intense roast. Great stuff. An important stout/cold coffee combo.

Big thanks to David S. 750 ml. bottle sampled. Dark ruby brown, massive mocha head. Nose is roasted coffee all the way with low chocolate. Very thick roasted coffee, coffee beans, bit sweet with low chocolate, coffee dominates everything, touch earthy sweet. Coffee body.

Bottle - thanks Youri! Pours opaque mahogany, medium creamy tan head, dissipates slowly, nice lacing. Aroma is strong coffee, ashes, tobacco, molasses. Flavor is medium sweet, medium plus bitter, huge coffee and light cocoa. Full body, creamy mouthfeel. Good. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Stout Impériale Russe (El Vandeval Costa Rica) on 09 Jul 2017 at 00:22 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Bottle thanks to Youri! Pours opaque black, light fizzy brown head, dissipates fairly quickly, ok lacing. Aroma is coffee dominated, mocha with a hint of woody earthiness and dirt. Flavor is light plus sweet, fully bitter, light plus acidity, heavy roasted coffee bean. Medium light body, high -- too high -- carbonation. This one is too amped on coffee and too carbonated to be enjoyable.
