Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

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.

Stopped in my local liquor store and was like wow, this is here, gotta try this. A good brew for sure. Aroma is balanced between roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, and a smoky note. Pour is black with a minimal brown head that fades to lacing. Flavor is sweet but not too sweet of chocolate, smoke, tobacco and roasted malts. All balanced very nicely. Warm, medium bodied, smooth, starts sweet but ends slightly bitter which is nice. Overall a very easy to drink Imp Stout thats balanced and complex.

Pours BLACK with a nice, deep tan head that left nice lacing. Nutty, malty aroma with some notes of caramel and coffee. Nice, smooth palate. sweet, malty flavor with a bit of a bite. Some caramel notes as it warmed. According to the bottle, it could have been aged until 2013...I’ll have to get another and try that.

Black with huge beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, coffee and coffee notes. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel, coffee and chocolate notes. Ends roasted with warming alcohol.

12 oz bottle poured into glass; Very dark, obviously, with a dark tan head. Aroma is of sweet hops. Taste of hops starts off this adventure through flavorland. Very rich; the roast malts take over after the hops and the finish has a warming bitterness to it. Great stout.

Black pour with a medium tan head. Sweet roasted malts with raisins came through the nose but was a bit weak. Roasted malt flavor with some chocolate and a bitt coffee finish. Seemed to be missing something.
