Almost opaque dark brown color, small tan head. Milky, smokey, roasted dark malty aroma. Milky, sweetish stout with light roastyness. Way too sweet for being "Russian Imperial Stout" (as seller claimed).

Huge beige lasting head. Brown body with yeast particles. Caramelly straw aroma with dusty papery hoppy notes. Dry-sweet intense caramelly malty nutty taste with grainy straw and alcohol notes. Some papery roastiness, too. Full-bodied soft and smooth with lots of carbonation. Clean. Dry hoppy straw caramel malt aftertaste is loong. Minty notes. Very sweet, but balanced by lots of hops. Leaves sticky sugar on lips. Very nice. (0.5l bottle from gr0ve.)

aroma:dark fruits, very subtle hint of aged beer, app: dark red brown, vanilla head, flavor also dark fruits, the aftertaste is the best part of this beer, the dark fruits slowly disappears and leaves a roasted nuts bitter aftertaste. very nice.

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Beautiful amber/copper colour with thin beige head. Hey, it’s got some hops on the end. Hot alcohol, thickish malts. Attractive hops and it doesn’t taste of 10%

Huge dark greige head over tar-black beer. Woody, bit coppery nose, burnt malts. Soft, mild, roasted, with a bit of molasses, without the sweetness, little sourish lining. Medium bodied, acidity thinning a bit. Nice, but a bit underwhelming for a supposedly Imperial Stout.
