Commercial Description:
Stoking the coals takes on a whole new meaning when enjoying this classic recreation of the stouts favored for years by the czarist courts of Imperial Russia. Jet black, with a velvety texture, roasted coffee bitterness and a warming finish.

Draft at MBG Winterfest. Poured black color with a huge creamy light brown head. Good roasted malt and alcohol tone. Full body. Big roasted malt coffee flavor with a long smooth finish. Good brew.

On tap: Lots of licorice in the aroma with hints of light chocolate. Dark brown with slight orange hints of orange hilights and a small tan head, Lots of black licorice and chocolate up front. Lots of roasted coffee in the finish. A tad thin for an Imperial Stout. A nice Imperial Stout which I can only assume has come a long way since 2001.

Almost sickly sweet and terribly thin, with no head at all. The best part of tasting it was that the waitress who served it to me thought it was the Vienna. How they think this is an ’Imperial’ is beyond me.
