Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Not as thick as we expected, but an excellent stout overall. The aroma stands out as the defining quality for us on this one.

An incredible imperial stout. Rich with the expected dsrk, bittery and cocoa notes, but with an impressive and weloming hoppiness. Just the right balance.

pours black with a tan, long lasting head. wonderful initial hop smell that quickly is overcome by the malts. typical malt flavor from a traditional imperial stout is overshadowed by an unusual bitterness, which isn’t bad, just different. very warming.

Bottle pour.Black with a good beige head.Aroma Nice Roasted smell with cocoa,caramel and a good hop smell.Taste is roasted malt,coffee, a little smoke and hops too but not enough to take away fro a very well balanced stout.Very nice.

12 oz bottle pours an oil black with thick medium-brown head that lingers. Roast malt aroma with plenty of hop spiceyness along with roasty caramel and roast malt. Taste is lots of roast malt, chocolate, some coffee and hops - and spice. This is a fantastic brew that has the perfect mouthfeel and finish. Very, very nice.

Pours a very nice black with frothy head. A very rich and very mocha-like stout. Alcohol presence is well hidden. A clean and very dry hoppy finish accentuates the overall character.

Bottle. Pours a thick black with a nice tan head. Unmistakable Victory Aroma. Aroma reminds me of Hop Wallop with coffee. Definitely the hoppiest smelling impy I’ve come across. Good malt flavor with nice espresso notes. Good bitterness. It would be interesting to age this to let the hops die. Will revisit in 9 mo and compare.

Pours a very dark opaque brown with ruby highlights and a coffee colored head. Highly roasty, almost smoky, aroma, with citrusy floral hops. Taste is slightly sweet coffee flavors, vanilla, and fruit balanced by significant earthy herbal hop bitterness. Medium body with a light texture and prickly carbonation. Surprisingly drinkable for the abv and flavor.
