Commercial Description:
As a style it was originally brewed in England as an export product for Tsarist Russia. This is a deep black ale, with both a caramel sweetness and a burnt/roast bite from the malt. Underlying this is a lingering tang from both Nugget and East Kent Golding hops.

Poured a deep opaque black body with a nice looking beige-tan head. Roasted coffee and malt notes. Finished a little soft, but over all quite enjoyable.

Black, brown outline, no head, some carbonated lace signs. The aroma is full & roasted with some sweet fruit & lots of hops. The flavor is roast, no alcohol, more like a foreign stout than a RIS, no complexity.

Black with brown edges, no head and webbed lacing. Mocha aromas, chocolate and roasted malts. Coffee and raisin. Flavor is pretty much the same as the nose, but a tad more bitter. Medium body, and a finish of bitter alcohol

Black with a thin tan hea. Sweet and almost hoppy. This "imperial stout" tastes like an average American pale ale with some coffee malt added to.

Draught: pint! wonderful. What else is better than an imperial stout in a pint glass? An impressive midnight color, dark and opaque. Nice roasted qualities and creaminess on the palate; however, missing any fruity development or vinous qualities. Tasty bitter mocha finish. Not one at the top of the Imperial stout list, but a nice beer no less.
