Black pour, big mocha brown head. Aroma is super malty, and very roasty with thick chocolate. Burnt coffee, hints of smoke and bacon. Oily mouth feel, lively carb for an impy. Medium bitterness, soy flavours in the end with some intense roast. Alcohol is well hidden, so this one is dangerous.

Bottled. Black colour, mediumsized foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol, chocolate, some mild tobacco as well as some roasted and dried fruity tones along with mild toffee and vanilla. Flavour is pretty much a blend of the elements mentioned in the aroma, but also has a quite strong almondy/nutty edge to it. I like it!

Thanks Steve. Yes, this is an aged review for obvious reasons.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a total jet black color with a thin finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace.
The aroma pops the roasty coffee beans to lay upon a ruggedly sweet milk chocolate. Sly dark chocolate, some vanilla bean. Sweet dark fruits. Subtle caramel.
The flavor yields to the sweet side with that rounded rugged roastiness making a good play against that sweet malty chocolatey/caramel taste. Semi-sticky sweet to rugged/roasty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation seems to have dissipated quite a bit with a rugged roasty grip on my tongue, somewhat dry.
Overall, very nice Russian Imperial Stout that I could have again, but sadly enough, well, most people know. I can only imagine what this was like when it was fresh.

22oz bottle shared by Kraig. A really nice, classic, huge Imperial Stout. Pleasantly not barrel aged. A big hop balance, but kind of covered up by the huge chocolate malts. A touch syrupy in the finish, maybe boosted with some sugar. Pretty good.

Bottle: Poured a black color stout with a nice large light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with nice black chocolate notes. Taste is a nice mix of roasted malt with some smooth black chocolate notes with light dry bitter notes. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. This is just well made and highly drinkable imperial stout.

A deep dark imperial stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, plums, molasses, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, beautiful mix of sweet chocolate, vanilla extract, light coffee, oily mouth feel, alcohol warmth, very nice and complex. Bottle from Boutip at GRMs tasting.
