22 oz. bottle from Nikki’s Liquors. Dark black color with really nice tan, full head. Lots of lace.Nose is charred malt, bitter chocolate with a tad of booze. Flavor is of a young imperial stout. It’s a bit green and harsh. Chocolate malt, charred ash, bitter sweet malts with a touch of booze. At 9.7 a bit hot and would mellow really nice with some time. Overall still a nicely made Impy stout.

Pours black with ruby hues and a medium creamy mocha head. Aroma has notes of dark fruits, bitter dark chocolate, and booze. Flavor has coffee and mild smokiness with significant dark bakers chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is chocolatey/smokey and dry/bitter.

Richmond 19th. Black. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, a bit of pepsin. Flavor is a match. Really nice. Maybe not crazy complex, but enjoyable, and with a flavor profile I really liked.

Licorice and prune aroma. Dark brown, thin beige head. Charred oak and bitter walnut. Finishes with walnut. Full body but pleasant viscosity. Solid.

Bomber from Dick’s World of Wines, Westerly, shared at the 19th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering. Pours a dark brown color with a thin dark brown head. Decent head retention. Aroma of big chocolate notes, mild roast, mild hoppy finish. The taste is dark roasted malts, herbal hops, dark bitter chocolate, faint nutty notes. Medium-full bodied, chewy.

RG 19. Bottle. Dark brown with brown foamy head and decent lacing. Smells lightly of chocolate. Tastes toasty and chocolaty and a little boozy.

From the bottle poured a dark black brew with a brown head. Malty aroma. Full bodied with a sweet, malty, hoppy flavor.

Black in color with a decent tan head. Aroma is of molasses, caramel, dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and leather. Taste is of coffee, dark chocolate, light orange, molasses and caramel.

Bottle. The look is dark, very dark, black color, and tannish head. The smell is roasty, malts, chocolate, coffee, peanut butter, desserts, and rich. The taste is really roasty, coffee, chocolate, rich, espresso, and good.

Pours a deep black with a large brown head. Aromas of toasted coffee, chocolate and nut. Solid flavor and heavy like a stout should be. Full-bodied and lightly carbonated with a texture that is both oily and creamy.
