Newport Storm 07

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

Serve in Snifter

bottles acquired from alldaydrinker... pours fairly opaque very dark brown with exactly 11 bubbles for a head which were vigorously roused up.... completely un-carbonated, damn! it smells pretty good though... chocolate-y, black raisins, molasses, malt powder, wood and floral yeast. tastes pretty good too... although a bit too sweet. flavors of wood, toasted nuts, yeast, vanilla cream, spicy bourbon-y oak, molasses and dark fruit/prunes. the aftertaste is of coffee with creamer. alcohol hits the stomach pretty hard. the body seems light to medium but it is hard to tell since it is totally dead and completely unappealing in the mouth. not sure if i can finish it... bummer.

i did a ’superdave70’ and simply funneled the rest ...

First thing I noticed is an abnormally large amount of space beneath the cork. Pours a dark oily black and very little head. Medium sweet aroma of molasses, brown sugar, caramel malt and dark chocolate. Flavor is sweet and there is a good deal of oxidation present as well as dark fruit and toffee. Finishes omewhat thin and bitter.

Corked bottle given to me by Jason and served in my NB worthy glassware:

Like others, my bottle pretty much has no carbonation nor head. It was close to pitch black and there was some oily legs.
The aroma has notes of liquorice, charred malt, raisin and prune, molasses, chocolate, herbal hops, leathery yeast and some oak. I did find some soy but nothing near the levels that others noted.
The taste is moderately sweet and malt driven with a dark fruit twangy background. Some star anise and black strap molasses noted as well. What dry hopping? The finish is ashy, dry, smoky and a hint of tannins.
The mouth feel has expected is near lifeless with the lack of carbonation. Not that is the only problem with the palate however as it is far too thin and boozy as well.

This offering is a complete mess that even properly carbonated bottles would not be able to fix. Extremely disappointing...

750ml bottle @Vero Beach Throwdown-pours no head and dark brown color. Aroma is dark fruit, dark malt, some acidic. Taste is dark fruit, dark malt-licorice, woody, some acidic. Sipping. Occasional. Thanks Beerlando for sharing.

Had to trade for this because I had to complete my tastings of Newport Storm series. Pours out black with absolutely no head had the carbonation level of tap water. Aroma is alcohol, chocolate and some strange malt notes. Taste is just a mess. Its all over the place, chocolate, licorice, alcohol, with a strange salty earthy note in there, picked up the soy that other raters talked about also. I had this in my snifter, had a sip, let it warm a bit and so on for about 5 other sips waiting for it to improve, but it just didn’t

This is an absolute abomination!!! What a terrible excuse for a beer!!! Very dark brown with absolutely no carbonation. None, zilch, nada. Aroma and flavor of Kikkoman...where’s the wasabi??? Reminiscent of Sam Adams Triplebock down to the blue bottle. At least that was an "extreme" beer. The description of this states, "It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "Its all about extremes!" The only thing this is is extremely awful!!! Drain pour!!!

Bottle. Pours a deep black with absolutely no head. Smells like a toned down Sam Adams Triplebock. Full of sugars, roasted malts, licorice, molasses, and (soy sauce?). Taste was smokey (tobacco?) and roasted. There was no carbonation to speak of.

750ml that found it’s way into my cooler while leaving Hellbilly hellraiser gathering. Extreamly alcoholic on the nose. Some chcolate and molasas aromas as well. Black oil body with not much of a head but the film of an oil spill on water was present on top of body of beer. Thin body texture but has alcohol, chcolate and tobbacco flavors. Alcohol content makes this one well somewhat hard to swollow but managed to do it. Thanks Joshua for this rarity.
