Commercial Description:
Vicious and viscous, this menacing brew pours opaque black with a creamy maduro-colored head. Its aroma offers seductive whiskey, chewy red wine, dark fruit and lavish tobacco. Berserker Imperial Stout invades your taste buds with in-your-face flavor. Weighing in at almost 13% alcohol by volume, Berserker is completely out-of-control. Give it a good fight.
This version of Berserker Imperial Stout was aged in both red wine and whiskey barrels. The entire batch was brought back together before being packaged in kegs and 22-oz bottles.

Kudos the the STL crew this impy stout. Pours very very dark with a dark orange / brown head. The aroma has creamy chocolate with some green apple - the chocolate seems dark, but not bitter at all. Full creamy body that’s very smooth with gentle carbonation. The flavor starts with creamy chocolate and dark malt that doesn’t seem very roasted. The finish has some bitterness from roast and there are some vinous traits. Good imperial stout.

Thanks to Clark VV for the bottle! Pour is pitch black with a very small, but pleaseant brown head. Great aroma of chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Slightly bitter upfront and moves int chocolate, coffee, caramel and roasty malts. Sweet finish. Medium to full bodied and creamy.

Thanks to MikeTD. Black pour, small brown head. Aroma is tough, lots of alcohol, mollasses, roasty, chocolate. Flavor is coffee, lots of roasted malts along with a lot of dark chocolate. Pretty potent and powerful stout. Sugary sweetness, mollasses, anice. A touch of vanilla. Big bold stout, tons of flavor and complexity with a huge cloying mouthfeel.

Aroma is dark chocolate malt, sweet port and molasses. Taste follows suit. Very much port and sugars. Finishes hoppy and somewhat roasted coffee and chocolate. Very solid and not over the top.

Sampled during Manhattan Blind IS Tasting: Very nice flavor and aroma, nice and smooth. Not syrupy but easy to drink. I wish I had more of this one to really get the full effect.

Dark black beer. Rich sweet dark malty aroma. Chocolate, cocoa, leather and rich chewy malts. Earthy and cherry fruitiness. Lovely rich brew.

Bottle. Aroma of dark fruit, chocolate and nuts. The palate is actually a little thin. The flavor is nice, mostly bitter chocolate, roasted malt and a crisp finish.
