This world’s most perfect beverage. I hope that we inhabit Mars, Simply because I firmly believe that this elixir is the most gratifying beverage that has ever past my lips. I know that this will be the beer of my choice until the day that the angles themselves decide that heaven is empty and they need a man like me. Storm King is the most perfect beer I have ever tasted. (If you can’t locate the King (due to its limited availability) try Flying Dogs Gonzo Porter.

Oct 10, 2008 Bottle courtesy of weeheavysd pours opaque black with no head and little carbonation. Aroma is dark fruit and chocolate malt. First taste is chocolate malt with dark fruit backing. Pretty well balanced with a slight roasted malt and strong alcohol bite in the finish.

Oct 9, 2008 12oz bottle. Aged for about one year. Pours opaque black with a nice mocha head. Some nice lacing too. Big hop flavors and dark chocolate give this complex depth and bitterness. Alcohol is well disguised. A fantastic Imperial.

Oct 8, 2008 Toasted strong coffee aroma with some mild grapefruit hops mixed with a little brown sugar. Small light brown head with excellent lacing. Dark Black with some amber notes in the color. Initial light bitter flavor ending about the same. Pretty long duration. Medium body with an oily texture. Light alcoholic presence in the finish. Over rated in my opinion.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours deep black with a thin tan head. Aroma is alcohol and burnt malt. Not terribly pleasant.
Flavor is a bit better, but this beer is really thin, in my opinion, for a stout, let alone and imperial. Flavor is a little chocolate, a little roasted malt, but a lot of burnt coffee. I’m not sure why that flavor is so popular in some stouts, but burnt coffee is not a nice thing to have on the palate. Really disappointed. I was expecting more.
