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.

14-SEP-2009 @Ĝlbaren. Dark dark brown wtih a little darker than off-white lasting head. Creamy, very roasted, very bitter from rightly balanced hops. Very easy drinking. Nice surprice from a brewery I have never come across before.

Bottle thanks to Ksurkin! This beer is great, and again, where the hell is my rating? Pours a deep brown with a thick foamy tan head, smelling of dark fruit and chocolate. Strong flavors of Licorice, dark fruit, and bittersweet chocolate. Rather carbonated, more than I care for in an Imperial stout, but it doesnt detract too much. Finishes with a strong bittersweet chocolate flavor.

bottle: YOWSER!!! I reached into the fridge, grabbed a beer, popped the top and took a healthy swig... all without looking at the bottle. (thought I was reaching for a Miller High Life). Boy was I suprised! I promptly poured the rest into a glass, admired the dark red/ brown/ coffee tones, brought my nose to the glass and went in for more. Lots of roasted qualities, some earthy/ nutty scents as well. The taste is full bodied, heavy, roasty, with lots of esters. Great brew in a difficult style.

Bottle. Pours black with a creamy mocha colored head. Aroma is mostly coffee, very roasty with some dark fruits and a surprising abundance of citrusy hops. Flavor is again mostly coffee with dark fruits, a touch of alcohol and hints of chocolate and black licorice. A very dry and roasty finish. Thick bodied and velvety smooth on the palate, but a little too much carbonation.

Poured think and black with moderate head which held up well. Aroma was think and malty with very notable hops. Taste malty with some plum flavor on the front end but that was quickly overpowered by heavy hops flavor and bitterness on the back end. Taste was out of balance for me, too much hops/bitterness. There are other Imperials that I much prefer to this one.

12 oz bottle. Pours pitch black with a thick, creamy, milk-chocolate head that laces a good bit. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, dark roast coffee, smoke, and anise. Very full bodied, with tastes of coffee, chocolate, pepper, black licorice, and a little bit of citrus. Finishes a like a very thin syrup, pleasantly bitter, and leaves a light taste of alcohol. Hard thing to beat.

Very excellent heavy stout. Very dark frothy beer, scent of nutty-roasted coffee like taste. Thick creamy head. Excellent beer
