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.

Bottle. Pours a smooth dark black with a large tan to brown head. Sweet stone fruit and roast malt on the nose. Thin to medium bodied with an enormous roast flavor and touches of coffee. Long roasted malt finish with a nice bitterness.

Pours from a bottle a deep, impenetrable oil black color with a thick tan head. There are strong aromas of chocolate malt and fig- absolutely penetrating. Flavor of fig, malt, and some substantial bitterness in the finish. A rather thick and creamy palate. A very solid beer.

Poured black with a creamy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of hops. Roasted malt flavor with some bitterness in the finish. Another one to try with age.

355 mL bottle. (bb Aug 17/2012). Opaque, almost black, with a small tan head. Powerful and appealing aroma of C hops, chocolate, roast, and vanilla ice cream. The flavour is equally as powerful and complex, with cappucino, cocoa powder, caramel malt, roast, and licorice. The hops show up about half-way through, and stick around for the duration. In the finish, which lingers as much as any beer I’ve ever tasted, they are joined by bittersweet chocolate. Full, with medium to light carbonation. Outstanding!

Very nice stout that has a stronger than usual bitter aftertaste. However still very good.

12oz bottle. This stout is delicious. Extremely drinkable with good chocolate, roasted malts and bitterness. Alcohol taste is almost non-existent.

Pours pitch black with a thin beige head, moderate thin, sticky lacing. Aromas of coffee, hops, chocolate, alcohol and wood. Flavor is roasty, malty and sweet with a nice hit of floral hoppiness in the finish. Too bitter for my preference of stouts.

12oz bottle. Pours midnight black with a towering thick chocolate head. Nose is chocolate and roast coffee with a lovely underpining of piney citrus hops. Flavor is a shock. This beer is extremely hoppy. Tons of coffee and chocolate up front leading to a roasty finishes that collides perfectly with spicy resiny hops and a huge bitter finish tempered with a bit of oak and smoke. Mouthfeel is a bit light for the style and the depth is not near as much as other imperials but this is still a cool and different take on the style. The Hop Devil is actually better.
