Feb 4, 2010 From a trade w. Glouglouburp. Pours black with a fluffy tan head. Nose is roasty, toffee, windex, a bit of butter, alcohol. Flavor is honey, big roasty malt, cherries, a bunch of alcohol, hops are strong but not overwhelming. Drinks like something much stronger - somehow reminiscent of that XXX Warlock beer. A bunch of roast in the bitter finish with some burnt notes, alcohol & toffee. Meh.

Jan 31, 2010 Draft. Pours midnight black with a cocoa head. Notes of dark roast coffee, sweetened chocolate, ripened dried fruits, a winey vinuous note on the back of the palate. It is full in body, a warm sweet lingering finish, and a warming alcoholic kick.

Jan 30, 2010 Sampled at High Street Grill Winter Beer Fest. Nah. Bland at best. No distinguishing characteristics to speak of. Much better examples to choose from.

Jan 16, 2010 Courtesy of jredmond. Maybe a sweet stout but not had no idea this was a Russian Imperial.. Not living up to the style.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and chocolate, leading to a dry and roasted finish. Nice. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David Cohen. Black with a very thin brown film of foam instead of a head. Roasty aroma with some hoppiness, woody notes and some alcohol. Very sweet roasty flavor with some dark fruitiness, coffee, nutty hints, and lots of bitter hops in the finish. Medium to full body.
