Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Bottle. Pitch black body. Ligth brown head. Light roasty aroma with fruity notes and coffee. Quite hoppy flavour. Nice roasty notes, coffee and chocolate. Great balance. Creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle at CBF. Pours pitch black with a light brown head. Aroma is lots of hops and notes of roasted malt, coffee and tan. Flavour is roasted malt, liquorice, coffee and tan. It has a "sharp" bitter hoppy aftertaste. Not really my thing.

Botella. Pitch black colour. Roasty malty aroma with coffee and chocolate, bit sweet. Great mouthfeel. The flavour has lots of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, bitter hops and some smoke. Long lasting roasty bitter finish.

Pours wonderfully black with a tremendous head that lasted throughout. The aroma was overwhelmingly hopy with notes of deep ground coffee, more like espresso. The flavor was as the smell was; strong bitter hops with notes of bitter coffee definitely comming through. Mouthfeel was a little thin for an impy stout but still good. The finish is rather bitter. It’s a good stout, it’s just hoppier than I care for stouts to be.

Enjoyed via 12oz bottle in a pub glass. Pours a jet black with a medium to dark tan head. Citrusy American hops come through in the nose, almost daring the drinker to say "That’s too much." Yet, the palate is surpringly light and approachable. The alcohol content is neatly hidden, as the palate shows notes of coffee and sllightly burnt toast, but leaves no traces of the potentially dangerous level of booze. Overall, a wonderfully crafted Imperial Stout from a great brewery.

Copenhagen Beer Festival. Smoke, coffee, salt, liquorice. Nice, but not really outstanding. The competition is strong!

bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2009 black, no head. sweet aroma. flavor is roasted, dry, malty, subdued hops. nice. re-rate bottle. dark brown, small brown and light brown head.+1 appearance. palate is smoother than original rate +1

Rating # 18 from the danish beer festival 2009. Black look with a fine brown head. Sweet malty aroma with some roasted coffee. Very smooth palate for an imp stout. Well rounded malty chocolate and coffee notes with a fine touch of tarry smoke. Good one!
