8.2/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
500ml bottle from Bottleworks, Seattle with the bottle listing 9.9% ABV and the name being Kulshan Russian Imperial Stout with the Shuksan not there anymore just as it appears on their website. It also appears I’m the first rater of the bottle version. Nose is chocolate, smoke, roast, and a hint of tobacco. Black with a medium, heavy lacing, cinnamon tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet, smoky, and a hint of earthy peat. Nice impy.

On tap at Menace, pours a hazy dull yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out excessively sweet fruity esters from the Belgian yeast, uh oh. Flavour is thankfully not quite as estery, though it is still dominated by such esters. There is a dry cereal malt character to it that cuts down on some of the sweetness. Not overly enthralled here.
