Commercial Description:
This Russian Imperial Stout is an intensely flavorful beer. Chocolaty, roasty, fruity, and bittersweet, with a hidden alcohol presence. This beer was designed to be sipped slowly on a cool evening in a nice cognac glass. Let it warm up to get the full flavor. This beer won Best in Show at the 2005 NJ State Fair when Brian was homebrewing.

Bottle from bhensonb. This opaque brown ale poured with a thin tan head and a coffee aroma. The flavor is a very mellow blend of roasted malt and hops with a creamy toffee finish. Lots of chocolate.

Bottle shared at SL... Black in color, decent little head. Nice aroma of roasted malts... Taste is close to the nose... lots of roasted malts with a touch of coffee.. Kind of one dimensional... Not a bad beer but just not much to write about.

This beer does not match up with others of its variety. Decent price however would rather pay a little more to drink others RISs.

Brown amber with a dead body. Malty aroma and characterized by a strong, saccharine, dusted malt ball flavor. Another malt bomb gone overboard. Extreme profusion of melanoidins. Tasty, but unbalanced, and a bit too much in doses larger than a schooner. An atypical imperial stout as it lacks the deep roastiness often found in the style and is more bent toward chocolate and maltiness.

Liquid Sunshine V. 12-oz. Dark ebony with rubied highlights. Headless. Laceless. Nice big roasty chocolate nose. Creamy medium body. Some resiny bitterness shows up on the mid-palate and the finish to balance out the sweetness.

From the bottle pours a deep, dark, mahogany hued body that shows virtually black at arm’s length. A small, quickly fleeting head of light brown foam leaves virtually no lace. A swirl of the glass reveals what appears to be a relatively weak body. Aromas include dark chocolate syrup, scorched caramel, roasty coffee, and mild, earthy hops. Flavors follow suit, quite chocolaty and heavy on dark caramel, with plenty of coffee and barley roast. As the appearance suggests, the palate is a little thin for a RIS. Good beer overall, but below average for the style.

Draft sampled. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma was roasty with light chocolate and coffee. Flavor of roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, and has a touch of molasses with a silky mouthfeel and a dry roasty finish.
