Victory Storm King Imperial Stout

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

bottle, black coffee colored pour, small nut brown head, roast coffee nose, flavors of bitter chocolate, cocoa powder and dry hop finish

Pours motor oil black, strong smell of hops and roasted coffee. Nice but thin tan head. Flavor is strong coffee, roasted malt, and dark chocolate. Finishes very bitter, medium mouthfeel with abundant carbonation, warms as it goes down. Very good beer, could have used a little bit more sweetness.

Pours black body with a nice tan head that leaves lacing. Coffee and roasted malts in the aroma. Pretty tasty aroma. Flavor is a little less invigorating with the roasted character taking precedent with a pleasant note of bitterness. Medium body mouthfeel to it. Pretty all right beer though.

Bottle, Nice hops and malt present in the aroma pours a nice black color with a tan head. Big body big roasts, nice bitterness but an easy drinker. Nicely done, not too watery but not as big and bold as other RIS brews. Quite nice not a lawn mower by any means but its tasty.

Bottle. Pours a very dark black, with a minimal head. Relatively muted malty aroma. The flavor is noticeably hoppy for a stout, but well balanced with malty sweetness: coffee and nut characters are prominent. Less complex than many imperial stouts, but pleasant and surprisingly drinkable.

Pours a dark black into the glass with a nice tan head. Aroma is roasted grain and coffee. Flavor is bitter chocolate with some raison like tones. This beer is huge on roasted malt flavor with lots of hop bitterness as well as the bitterness from the roasted grains. This is my kind of imperial stout. Alcoholic taste is a little harsh as the brew warms.

Cloudy black/brown pour. Very roasty aromas. Tastes of roasted malts, bakers chocolate, coffee, a little licorice. Quite full bodied. A little overly harsh with hoppiness. Good lingering coffee/bitter finish. Can’t complain about this one.

Pours very dark thick brown, lots of light-brown head. Very nutty, roasty aroma, with tons of green olives and earthy hops at the end. Taste is sweet at the front, surprisingly sharply bitter at the finish. Lots of chocolate, but the lasting finish is hops. Mouthfeel is surprisingly light for a stout, a bit dry, but good.
