Bottle: old world russian imperial stout from Total Wine price- $5.99. This was a beer we found tucked away in the back and picked it up because of the price. A RIS pint for 5.99?? Oh yes, and one heck of a good RIS it proved to be. making a trip back to total wine to buy much more of this one, as its a perefect every day brew, finely crafted and a Bargin!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark amber with some what of a head. Aromas of whiskey upfront, toasted malts, slight oak. Flavors of toasted malts, dark chocolate, light wood, slight smoke, and has a touch of whiskey but very subdued and unexpected as it comes through the nose quite well. Burnt roasted aftertaste, very bitter, smokey. First beer rated by brewdog.

Completely black with a nice, thick tan head. Heavy espresso-like coffee aroma. Strong taste with malts and roasted coffee. Great, lasting aftertaste also. Smooth mouthfeel with tickly carbonation. Overall, very nice imperial stout.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Labeled as Old World Russian Imperial Stout, acquired via trade with smith4498: Pours black, faint deep brown edges, moderate frothy light beige head, fairly decent lacing. Rich roasted malt nose, slight dark pitted fruit, dark chocolate, and a touch of graham cracker. Slightly astringent on the tongue. Not as complex tasting as the nose suggested. Simple roasted malts with very muted dark pitted fruit. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Has an assertive figgy aspect that comes and goes quickly. Lingering roasted malts and slightly astringent dark pitted fruit and dark chocolate. Meh... not bad,better than a lot of others, but in the whole grand scheme of things pretty average for a Russian Imperial Stout. Thanks for the bottle Jason!

Bottle at pub. Pours a black colour with a small light brown head that stays all the way to the last sip. Nice! Fantastic aromas of coffee, dark bitter chocolate and dried fruits. I find the same good stuff in the flavour along with some wood. The beer feels both thick and smooth, and the carbonation make it feels like a coffe smoothie. I could eat this with a spoon! Medium bitterness. A lovely stout. More, please!
