Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Jakebra crush. Had this after a Pumking. It was so refreshing, which is a first for a Imperial Stout for me. Pretty damn good. Lots of coffee and dark chocolate, some dark fruits, and a very, very bitter finish but it’s beautiful.

Thick pour..strong head for a stout...Aroma is espresso, dirt, floral hops and a bit of smokiness. Taste is a nice mixture of floral hops, coffee, and heavily roasted malts. A very enjoyable impy stout.

Pours dark brown/black with tan head. Burnt malt aroma with a touch of hops. Burnt malt, coffee, chocolate and hops flavors with moderate sweetness. Full body with minimal carbonation and a velvety mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden for being over 9% ABV. Very good brew.

Black Gold with a nice brown head. Roasted malt aroma. Coffee notes with plenty of hops. Another excellent beer from a great brewery. I wish I would have discovered this brewery sooner.

Bottle sampled 03, 04, 08 at Stateline Liquors. All poured a murky black with not much head. Aroma was sweet with caramel chocolate. and roasted malts. Taste was chocolate roasted malts, caramel, and mild alcohol. A very nice brew, well balanced and ages very well. 03 almost rolled down your throat.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with very little head. Chocolate, coffee, and smoky notes, finishes a little bitter with a hoppy bite.

Bottle. Pours murky brown/black with no head. On the nose, sweet, malty, roast, coffee. In flavor quite malty, some chocolate, there seems to be some smoke-like phenols, strong hop bitter end. Fair to low carbonation, decent mouthfeel, with some drying hop action. Overall a decent IS, just didn’t seem overtly complex or intriguing.

Pours a very dark brown, almost black. Some dense tannish foam. Aroma of roasted malts, nutty, maybe a bit of vanilla. Taste of the same. A bit bitter on the finish, and the alcohol is noticable, but very very good.
