This super-tasty Triple Oatmeal Russian Imperial Stout is rich, dark and flavorful - the way we like it - this beer is intense! Reaching a whole new level of taste, a wonderful complexity and depth is imparted from aging in select Bourbon barrels. Rich flavors and aromas of oak, vanilla & whiskey abound, to perfectly compliment the intense character of T.O.R.I.S.

Dark brown. No head. On the aroma, chocolate, with a bit of fudgey, with a bit of chocolate. This is a bit husky. A lot of sweetness, a lot of barrel. Good brew, altough really boozy.

A pitch black beer, a head is quite small and dark brown. Aroma has richness of malts, sweetnes from dark and dried fruits, salt liquorice, some vanilla and dry barrel, noticable strenght of alcohol. Great aroma has huge intensity, as could be expected. Taste has salt liquorice, chocolate, some barrel in the end, balanced sweetness. Full bodied, smooth, hint of stickyness. Huge beer. Ingreadibly intensity, but despite of that, very drinkable.

Bottle, thanks Eddan. Black with a small tan head. Sweet with coffee, bourbon, chocolate and some warming alcohol. The body was almost full and the finish kind of long.

Stunning aroma, chocolate, bourbon dark molasses. Stunning taste, warming, lots of chocolate, bourbon, creamy. vanilla my only criticism so far and it is is minor is that this is a touch boozy.

Bottle from Beergonzo.co.uk. Black with a small brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, light vanilla and bourbon. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish with lots of warming alcohol. Oily and soft. A bit boozy. 241217
