Commercial Description:
This Divine Reserve was inspired by the winning entry of the 2007 Big Batch Brew Bash homebrew competition, brewed by Mike Heniff, a highly decorated local Houston homebrewer. Russian Imperial Stouts are very big and very black and this one is no exception. DR5 has a rich malty body full of coffee and chocolate flavors and a spiciness derived from the combination hops and high alcohol. It was brewed with a variety of malts including 2 row pale, crystal, chocolate and roasted barley. It was hopped with Nugget, Willamette and Centennial. We used an American ale yeast to ferment it. It is unfiltered. Enjoy at 45°F or warmer with some dark chocolate or a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Bottled. A black beer with a brown head. The aorma is sweet malty with medium notes of roasted malt, while the flavor is sweet with very strong notes of roasted malt, as well as medium notes of sweet soy sauce. Thanks yespr for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of yespr/MaltOMeal. Completely black and opaque with a creamy, light brown head. Fat aroma of burned malt, raisins and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with very burned malt accents in combination with dried fruits. Distinctly malt bitter finish. 120108

Flat and oily dark brown appearance. Chocolate and burnt plum aroma, with light molasses overtones. Chewy palate, rather burnt-tasting with molasses and dark fruits. Slightly sticky, slightly hot finish.

12 fl oz bottle, from trade with ygtbsm94. Pours dark brown to black with a dense light chocolate head. Smooth chocolate malty aroma. Flavour is very smooth chocolate malty. Solid chocolate bitterness yet very smooth as well. Ends with a nice mix of bitterness and chocolate lingering into the far finish.

(12oz bottle, thanks mj) Medium brown head atop black body. Aroma is moderately sweet, coffee, molasses, roast, some chocolate, faint cherry. Taste is moderately sweet, buttersweet chocolate, coffee, some earthy. Light alcohol warming but not boozy. Creamy medium-full body.
