Sprecher Russian Imperial Stout

This was not a bad IPS but a little lite on the alcohol side,dark with hints of roasted malts and a little sweet finish overall not bad but i like my IPS stronger.CHEERS!

Well this is certainly not in the world class impy stout grouping I’ve been having recently ~ so it goes. Pours very dark, almost black, with a thick soapy head. The aroma has dark berries, cream, roasted malt and milk chocolate. Medium / full body that is milky and had light soft carbonation. The flavor starts off milky and watery with some mostly hidden roasted malt and cream. The finish has some spicy hops and coffee bitterness. This is not great by any stretch, but still better than I expected.

Pours black with notes of toasted malts and sugars. Deep hints of coffee, and bitter chocolate fold out under the palate. A nice finish that hides the ABV very nicely.

16oz bottle - Pours opaque black color with tiny light brown head that quickly dissapates. Aroma has fair amount of toasted caramel, plum notes, hint of red grape, hint of coffee, dark chocolate, and bit of faint roastyness. Flavor is malty, fairly roasty, fair amount of caramel, bit of chewy malts and ash, slightly salty. Finish is balanced. A fairly good IS, not great but enjoyable.

16oz bottle-A pitch black body with a small brown head which has an aroma of coffee, maple syrup, roasted malt, molasses, and chocolate. Taste of the same with a sweetness and very slight alcohol coming in on the back end. I think a little light but still a tasty Imperial.

Bottle received via trade with Beerlando. Pours opaque with a small, frothy, light brown head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, burnt grain, chocolate), average hops (flowers, perfume), average yeast (dough) with notes of raisins, prunes, and alcohol. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate acidity, bitterness, and sweetness.

Thanks beerlando. The color was deep chocolate. The head was creamy, light beige, and thin. The aroma was molasses, vanilla, some coffee, and some roast. The flavor was smoke, soy sauce, roast, and coffee. The palate was average. The finish was roasty and smoke.

Thanks beerlando. Pours a nice dark black brew with little to no head. The aroma is a little off, sweet, soy sauce, a little thin coffee, not too hot. The flavor was thin, not too much substance, a little alcohol. The palate was fairly thin and a fair amount of carbonation. Not a big fan of this one.
