Triumph Imperial Stout

Brewed by Triumph Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Princeton, New Jersey USA

Serve in Snifter

Draft wrong new hope. Black pour with head. Butterscotch aroma. Tastes sweet, not so Roasty. Finishes thin.

Part of the draft sampler @ the Princeton location. Opaque black body with a small beige head. Aroma roasty and sweet. Flavor of roasted coffee and chocolate with little alcohol. Bitter finish.

I had this on tap at the Princeton location. It was served in a snifter, which was nice to see. The color is a completely opague black with a tan head. Lacing lasts a long time. Hay fever had my sinuses a bit stuffed up, so I wasn’t able to get as much aroma as I should but what I got was predominatly roasted malt. Flavor was also chocolatey roasted barley. It was served a pretty cold, but even as it warmed the alcohol stayed well in the background. All in all a very good Imperial Stout.

Root beer brew with browned creme top. Exceptionally hoppy nose for an imperial stout, but otherwise, the malting seems subdued, or even flat. Pleasant chocolate roast barley flavors wind through the palate, with the hop flavor more balanced than the aroma would indicate. Well crafted to conceal the potency.

On tap at brewpub. Pours deep opaque black with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, and chalky roasted malt. Flavor of sweet rich malt, chocolate, coffee and alcohol. A medium mouthfeel, that is crisp and smooth. A nice well balanced easy drinking stout.

on tap at philly location brewery. pitch black with a nice head. a little low in alcohol for an imperial, very drinkable though

Draught in Philly location: This was served in a snifter. It poured an inky, opaque brown color. There was a fairly substantial creamy tan head on it. It has a nice nose. Some chocolate, roastiness and citrus hops. The taste is good, but perhaps a little light for a RIS. Chocolate notes, some roastiness. The taste is just a touch bitter in the finish. Nice.

Draft. Pours a black body with a tan head. Malty chocolate notes, molasses, sweet with some light lactose notes. Some light wood and smoky tones. Vinous with some dark esters and a slick warming finish. Good beer.
