Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Inky black syrup with a wisp of a khaki head. Bitter milk chocolate is what the nose reminds me of. Flavor is a realy solid hop character, then overtaken by raisins, prunes and deep, dark belgian chocolate truffles. Just a hint of warming alcohol on the finish. Well done stout.

Bottle. Pours jet black. Can definately taste the roasted malts..and I noticed a hint of mocha to this. Was very easy to drink, and pleasent aftertaste. New to the stouts, but this is the best one so far. No clue how it was 9.1%. Couldn’t even taste the alc. Very nice beer.

Black pour with a nice, thick, tan head. Good retention and sticky lacing. Aroma consists of dark fruit, espresso, sweet alcohol, slightly hoppy. Flavor is surprisingly bitter, I like! Roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits, pine. Starts off bitter hoppy and leads to a sweet middle ground finishing mildly dry and bitter. Medium full body, moderate low carbonation and minimal alcohol warmth - especially for a 9% ABV brew. Nicely done!

Bottle. Pour is black and thick with a fairly large brown head. Aroma is heavy roasted malt, creamy chocolate milk shake, light coffee, light plum, figs, faint hoppyness, and light tobacco. Flavor is rich, creamy, and malty up front. The middle transitions into a light bitterness with some coffee tones and chocolate notes. the finish is long, lightly bitter, pleasantly hoppy, and faintly floral. It’s really good stuff and gets smoother with every sip.I have not had this in a few years. It’s so available that I pass it by all the time in search of more exotic and expensive offerings. But, for the money, this and Kalamazoo stout are beers that I need to buy way more often in the future.

BEER #200. Body is black as night with a THICK tan head. Thick frothy/creamy lacing throughout the experience. Smell is of baker’s chocolate, licorice, roasted malt, coffee, and tobacco. This beer has an amazing taste with notes of all the above smells. The creamy smoothness of this beer is second to none! The bitter bite at the end is powerful but not overbearing. Kind of like a top quality bitter chocolate. Extremely enjoyable and will definately drink again. I’m really glad this was my 200th beer rated.

( 12oz bottle) pours dark black with great dark tan head and excellent creamy lacing. Nose is amazing. Super complex, milk chocolate, light caramel and subdued hops. Taste is unsweetened chocolate, milk chocolate creaminess, no bitterness at all. Excellent body and creamy. I love this one.

this is a big beer and some dry chocolate malty bitter flavous attack your taste buds ,

Bottle. High fluffy light brown lasting head. Pitch black body. Roasted malt coffee liquorice aroma. Powerful roasted malt coffee hops flavor with a low carbonation and a long bitter aftertaste.
