Poured black as a black hole with a small, brown, lacing head. Roasted aroma with coal, alcohol, burnt wood, strong hops. Extreme burnt notes, hoppy as hell. Was probably boiled with coal. The name destroyer doesn’t satisfy the experience. Dense, very heavy body with medium carbonation. Oily, creamy, velvety texture. As complex as it gets. Don’t miss it! Truly outstanding.

22oz bomber poured into a snifter. Pours black with a thin ring of dark brown head. Aroma of dark fruits, alcohol, coffee, chocolate and caramel. Taste is light bitter and light sweet. Alcohol, coffee, chocolate, plums and other dark fruits and some caramel with a little herbal hops in the finish. Full bodied with a thick creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a very long, bitter finish. Overall, awesome. I could happily drink this every day.

Aroma muy intenso, destacan el cacao y licor. Ideal para beber cuando hace frío para entrar en calor. Simplemente, impresionante.

Amazing Imperial Stout. Super rich in aroma, appearance and taste. Thick, coffee, chocolate...strong alcohol taste and dry hoppy aftertaste.

Seguramente una experiencia, despues de boris solo doris puede destroyer... Al verterla ya se nota el espesor del vino dulce, espesisima, los aromas son tipico de caffe y tostado y asado pero degustandola poco a poco van saliendo los aromas de lupulo, citrico y a mas erba. el palato es largo y intenso, para compartir una botella de 65 en 5 personas... sino doris the destroyer...

An amazing imperial stout. Loads of flavor, great body, and it has the best reddy brown head. I need to get more to hide in my basement for a rainy day.

Aroma is strong and smoky with tones of unsweet chocolate and quality coffee, along with more than a hint of anchovies. It pours - woo-wee, utterly black with a thick, dark tan, fine-bubbled head that hangs around - there’s no way they could improve on that, Dixie Darlin’! Flavor is WOW! Semi-sweet chocolate, quality roast coffee, hints of molasses and miso, even a touch of hops and a smidgen of anchovies. Hey, I like anchovies. Texture is fizzy, oily and thick, leaving a nice heavy mocha finish. This one is just a shade or two off perfection - at least in my book. OK, I’m prejudiced in favor of stouts and porters, but that’s just the way I iz.

Bottle @ joes. Pitch black, opaque colour with a small to medium brown head. Smells a lot like coffee, roasty, salty. Tastes coffee, mocca, hops, bitter, pure chocolate, espresso coffee. Amazing taste, perfect aftertaste. Full body, silky, lovely.

Bottle from Capones. Pours opaque oily black with a wispy medium tan head. Aroma is rich malts, licorice, and a hint of vanilla. Full solid mouthefeel with perfect carbonation. Deep roasted malty flavor with plenty of body. Finishes with a crisp, lingering hoppiness. One of the best imperial stouts that I’ve had in a LONG time.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours obsidian with 3 f dark brown head. Nose is dark malty, dark choc, vanilla, blackstrap molasses, hops, oats. Tastes extremely rich, very complex, with a huge dark malt and dark chooclate upfront, giving way to dark fruit, some hops, oaky vanilla. An elite RIIS.
