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.

Poured a nice dark brown with a brown head. This is a high malt driven beer with tastes of roasted malt and sour hops. Very rich and complex with subdued sweetness. The end is pretty bitter, with a smoky flavor that lingers for a while. Very nice, I just think they should have made it a little sweeter. Nicely done and balenced.

Black with tan head. Espresso and hops with raisin malt. Complex ,yet even. Tastes strike slowly. Alcohol is present without being overbearing. Hops comes through at the end. Very good.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours thick and black with almost no head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Very hoppy taste, with mocha notes. Very bitter. OK, but I’m glad I skipped the sixer.

Pours dark black with a nice tan head. The aroma is mostly malt and a lot of hops, though there is some dark fruit and maybe a hint of coffee in there. Nice flavor, balanced between the roasted malt and hops. There is also chocolate and coffee in there. Thick mouthfeel, and the alcohol is very well-hidden.

What a great example of the style. Had this in the bottle. Pours with a great lingering head. Very dark allowing no light to pass through - not even on the edges of the glass. The beer is a meal. Very roasty taste. Thick. Hops are well balanced and not overwhelming.

Pours a dark black with a tan head. Nice thicker mouthfeel. Nice roasted flavor, some coffee and chocolate. Hides the 9.1% pretty well, it seems like a normal Stout. Very good. I need to get some more.

Bottle form during a meal at Old Chicago. I stupidly ordered this beer while at a restaurant. The accompanying meal was a pepperoni/jalapeno/ricotta stuffed calzone with marinara sauce. That’s what happens when a beer nerd finds a new beer while in an unbecoming environment. I had to try it, though I knew full well I was setting myself up for minor disappointment. Storm King had nice roasted cocoa aroma, I could definitely smell the bittering hops as well. The mouthfeel was creamy thick...the flavor was pretty bitter for a stout but with nice roast/smoky undertones. I could feel the weight of the beer as it supported the high abv. I would really love to sample this one again under better circumstances. It was very tasty and a high quality brew even when gorging on Italian chain food, but I’d like to sit down with a snifter of it and a good book in front of a crackling fire.

Very thick solid head. Heavy after taste chocolate and malt flavors well balanced and fantastic dark color.
