Аромат классический для русского имперца. Много сухости и женного солода, при этом, и сладость на месте, конечно шоколад в основе, много бобов, бочки много, прям дерево. Цвет дико черный, пены почти нету. Вкус такой же, много бочки с вискарем, меньше шоколада и ванили, есть бобы при глотке. Вроде и хорошо, но уж слишком классично. Не скажу что бочка выверенная и сбалансированная.

Black with a small head. Slightly sourish aroma with notes of berries, liquorice and dried plums. Soft and rounded mouthfeel. Taste is Port, liquorice and chocolate. Pretty mild for an Imperial Stout.

Aftertaste had burnt malts, smoke, wood, ash and bitterness. Delicious and balanced.

Panda many thanks to Cloin. Almost clear dark brown beer, good bubbly dark tan head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a mildly earthy dark chocolate. Juicy Port barrel berries and berry liqueur outmuscle the decent if mellow whiskey barrel ripe fruits. A little alcohol spice and a nice touch of oak barrel induced vanilla. Soft smoke, very soft, but it enhances this already rich brew. Finishes smooth and viscous with Port Barreling still riding strong. Lovely Impy, beautifully layered and a little outside the normal lanes. Could drink a 750 of this to myself without any problem. Well, apart from getting up the next morning!
