Coffee, chocolate and thick body. Lite sweetness and chocolate aroma. A little unfinished at the end, but altogether a fine beer.

Bottle. I could mistakenly throw this out with the old engine from my 1998 Toyota -- thick and oily with a solid light brown head. The aroma is thick and creamy. This stout drinks quite easily for such a high gravity pour, full of sweet, dark fruit and beguiling bitter chocolate. Excellent. (#3788, 1/3/2010)

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured thick, black and oily with a huge dark brown head that lingers. The aroma was rich sweet chocolate, dry toasty malt, light coffee and toffee with a faint undercurrent of floral hops.The flavor was sweet chocolate, ripe fruits, port wine, cocoa powder and toffee with a bitter floral hop presence in the middle. The finish was long with port wine, cocoa and fruity. The mouthfeel is thick, smooth and silky. The beer is so slick it coats the glass long after it is gone and the flavor linger enticingly. Fabulous!

Pours pitch black with a quick fizzling mocha brown head. Smells like chocolate and roasted malts with hints of alcohol on the nose. Taste is strongly of chocolate with a roasted backbone; almost no alcohol on the taste at all. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and very soft mouth-carbonation, Otter Creek Russian Imperial Stout finishes with a nice roasted bitterness.

What an excellent surprise! Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Smells of dark fruit, coffee, some bitter touches. Tastes of layered velvety malt, dark chocolate, coffee, some bitter hints, molasses, dark fruit. Dangerously drinkable and decadent with no alcohol burn. Excellent!

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.

Black with a thick tan head. There is a lot going on here, flavor and aroma-wise. Aroma is malt, chocolate, grapes. Flavor is Chocolate, and espresso. There is a sweet malt flavor that dominates at first, but as you drink it, the malt flavor fades into the background. I love me an imperial stout, and I can’t find anything to hate about this one.

Bottle. Pours opaque with an average, frothy and creamy dark tan head, medium to short retention with excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, roast, nutty, toffee), light hops (woody), and average esters (dried fruit) with notes of smoke, prune, alcohol, port, and raisins. Flavor is heavy malt (cookie, roast, nutty, toffee), light hops (woody), and average esters (dried fruit) with notes of smoke, prune, alcohol, port, and raisins. Full body, medium warmth and creaminess, low carbonation with a sweet texture and dry finish. This is a really nice beer; it is well-balanced and well-rounded.
