Newport Storm 07

Formerly brewed at Coastal Extreme Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Newport, Rhode Island USA

Serve in Snifter

750 ml bottle courtesy of alldaydrinker tasted with one year of age. Pours black with no head and no sign of carbonation. The aroma was sweet molasses and toffee, dark fruits, vinous, and light roast. The flavor had only mild sweetness which was surprising based on the nose. Other flavors were slight roast, chocolate syrup, tart, prunes, and alcohol that grows as it warms. Thin for the style.

Bottle. Pours a brown liquid and finishes as a black body with a tan caramel head. Light chocolate sweetness, licorice, dark fruits, vinous qualities, and boozy maple chocolate. Good brew.

Not too complex, this light bodied anniversary beer did not deliver on a blend of seven hops or seven malts. Little carbonation and no head. It was corked and stored well.The smell and taste of dark chocolate, it was soya salty and not too sweet. Dark colour.

Pours no head so no lace. Almost black color, some mahogany highlights. No carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Molasses nose. Flavor is molasses and alcohol. Nice flavor but a huge disappointment without the carbonation. Blue corked bottle. Pricey at $11.99 for a 750ml bottle from Yankee Spirits South Attleboro, Ma.

2007 Vintage

10/01/2008: Newport Storm ’07 has an aroma similar to chocolate mixed mixed with red wine. There is also a fruity note similar to molasses. The color of this beer is similar to dark chocolate and is quite opaque. No foam was generated during the pour and there is very little, if any, carbonation. The flavor is strong and a slightly sweet with lots of caramelized malts, some semi-sweet chocolate, a medley of dark fruit and coffee, and a definite alcohol sensation through the nose. The finish is slightly more dry than the bulk of the flavor, but really helps to add some balance. The body of this beer is medium-full and is is still on the palate. It still has good mouthfeel and coats well. Overall this is a smooth and easy to drink Imperial Stout. I personally think that this one is somewhat underrated. It has a lot of really good flavors and I like that it is a little on the sweet side. I would have preferred some carbonation as I really think that it would have helped to intensify all of the flavors.

(thanks to irishboy for the bottle)dark brown with no head.aroma was boozy with some black liquorice,brown sugar,and molasses.flavor is much of the same.mouthfeel is thin and oxidized.this really tastes like its 6 or 7 years old instead of 1.maybe if they would have filled the bottle up the air inside wouldnt have killed it.

Cobalt blue bomber from AllDayDrinker; If it was only carbonated! No pressure in the bottle, cork pushed right in; clear very dark brown with no head; nose of chocolate, vanilla, molasses, and alcohol; tates like it’s five years old and oxidized: kind of thin and watery; falvors are there, coffee, chocolate, molasses, and a bourbony alcohol note. Maybe the 4"+ of air in the top and no pressure ruined it. It has all the flavors but with less than a year on the bottle should seem five plus years old!
