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.

Campy877 (58) - Michigan, USA - MAY 2, 2013
Bottle. Pours a deep rich brown with a surprisingly thin head. Very strong hops on tip of the tongue and rich malt finish. Very tasty and not Guinness heavy. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ronaldtheriot (785) - Laplace, Louisiana, USA - APR 30, 2013
Victory Storm King Imperial Stout has a medium, creamy, heavy-bodied, beige head and a very dark brown appearance. The aroma is astringent, harsh, dark-roasted, chocolate, and coffee- wonderful! Taste is of the same, with black cherries, a ghost of licorice, and black bread crust- awesome! Mouthfeel is heavy and thick, and Storm King finishes powdery, sweet, and dense. Overall, this is an epic beer. Just so wonderful! I beg you to get it. RJT

DuffMan (5197) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - APR 24, 2013
On tap @ Radio Maria. Near black, scant beige head. Aroma is equally divided between roast and oily hops, intense. Plenty of black malt on the palate, ashy and acrid, some anise, bitter bakers chocolate. Finishes with a blast of hops, white grapefruit rind, bitter and dry. Big and bold, a little too bitter for my tastes.

alcaponejunior (350) - Texas, USA - APR 23, 2013
Black in color, too dark to see through. Not too much head but lacing is nice. Roasty malts, coffee and chocolate round out the smell. Very pleasant and easy on the nose. Taste wise it’s got plenty of roasty, dark malts, very nice raisiny dark fruitiness, and a lovely subtle backdrop of hoppiness. It’s quite full bodied and moderately bitter in the aftertaste. Mildly carbonated, as expected.

ElDesmadre (944) - Mikołów, POLAND - APR 22, 2013
Bottle. Aroma ranging from resiny hops to a deep, dark maltiness. Chocolate cherry cake. Some roast, Some spruce... maybe eau de Cologne? Hints of leather and tobacco. Excellent aroma. Thick and oily consistency, flavour of roast and chocolate mainly. Interesting finish joining together the bitterness of grapefruit with the tart notes of roasted grain. Warming though not alcoholic in flavour. Creamy carbo, strong bitternessleaving behind notes of tobacco and coffee. A very nice treat.

jahshuwuh (181) - USA - APR 21, 2013
Dark cola black color with a small amount of off white head. Smells of malt, barley, earth, a little sweet scent. A hoppy taste at first with a little bitter that gives way to a malty sweet, with caramel, bread, rye, chocolate. Bitter malt lingers in the aftertaste. Pretty good malt/hop forward stout. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
