Commercial Description:
With a huge, Pacific Northwest hop aroma & character upfront, Storm King subsides into massive, roast malt complexity. More flavor than mere words can adequately describe. Rich and substantial, it will warm your heart.

Poured from Bottle into Snifter glass. Enjoy by date January 8th, 2014. Pours a deep, dense black but can see just a hint of brown towards the head as I tip the glass, with a huge creamy tan head that dissolves into a nice layer around the glass. Aroma is predominately black coffee with some roasted malts. Flavor has an oddly sweet roasted malt, some coffee and a soft bitterness. Its a medium- to heavy-bodied that coats your mouth with every sip. Enjoyable Imperial Stout but think it would be much better with some age on it to maybe drop some of the sweetness down.

Pours an opaque black with a huge, creamy light-brown head. Aggressive but hard to place aroma - some candy, coffee, malt, maybe a little yeast. Flavor is slightly sweet with plenty of malt, some coffee, and a tangy, bitter finish. The tangy (but not sour) component comes close to overwhelming this stout.

8/4/09 Bottle. Black pour with nice brown head. Aroma and flavor don’t meet what i remember but still a solid RIS. Doesn’t exactly meet the great quality pf some that I have been lucky to try. Original Rating: Great beer by victory. One of the first imperials stout i had tried. Definitely worth buying the six pack although it has gotten a little more expensive.

One of my all time favorite beers. Great aroma, prefect hopping, complex malt flavor that last...the "everlasting gobstopper of beer"...except that I always seem to find the end a bit soon. Its also great on the hand-pump at the brewery, would love to try a bourbon barrel aged version!

Bottle. Pitch black, of course, with a smooth, fluffy, bread-colored head and nice lacing. Aroma’s packed - licorice, coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, a little smoke. Flavor is much the same - strongly roasty, with hop notes here and there as well. Aftertaste is hoppy and bitter, in a grainy coffee-like way, with almost a salty flavor - no idea where that’s from. It’s kinda like the taste you get after eating hard pretzels, actually. Definitely rich and malty, and perhaps a little too sweet for me. The complexity of this beer is exceptional, especially in the aroma, but it’s not quite balanced well enough to be a top-rank beer, if you ask me.

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.
