Apr 23, 2009 Bottle Pours a deep black with a creamy tan head. The head last well and laces great. Has a good aroma of roasted chocolate, sweet fruits and alcohol. Has a good carbination and a zingy mouthfeel. Has a nice alcohol burn. The flavors are good and party on the tongue. Definetly has a good alchol bite. A heavy body and a real strong finish. Has a watery texture. Not as thick as I would expect. A good drinking stout with a kick butt attitude.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle from dogfish120love, thanks! Holy crap this is a beautiful beer. Black with a great creamy brown head. Aroma is wonderful. Molasses, smooth roasted malt, chocolate, purnes and hints of a caramel frappuchino. Flavor is rich and full wtih an amazing body. Lots of chocolate, plums, molasses, coffee, and the roasted element in this beer is very mellow and melds amazingly well with the hops. This is underrated IMO. Wow.

Apr 20, 2009 Updated: Apr 21, 2009Bomber in trade with somebody....? Been sitting in the fridge for a few months waiting..for an overcast cold dreary day off like this that I could enjoy the warmth from a Russian Impy stout. this one did not dissapoiint.. I half expected a big coffee fucker that would makle my face twist like the Red Poppy that was sitting next to this probably will. I must say that their use of brown sugar in this brew was expert. It is noticable from start to finish as a pleasant undertone. A fine, dense sticky lacing clings to the glass and slowly separates into thin quaff rings. Nose of sweetened coffee. Body is Medium + but ends thin, with a hint of tanginess. ....Willamette and Magnum hops????? Not in any noticable ammount. Easily drinkable and not overbearing. A nice one.;

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle in trade as a bonus from ROBORB. Thanks dude! Pours dark black with a medium lived tan head. Smell is roasty malt a touch of butterscotch, and creamy, nutty coffee. Taste is dry and roasty with nice bitter hoppiness and char flavor to it. Full body and soft to medium carbonation that is about ideal for the style. Nice dark chocolate, and suitably bitter flavor. Very solid RIS.
