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.

Bottle, Strong fresh hops aroma with citrus notes. Dark brown color with frothy tan head. Slight metallic initial flavor. Strong dark roasted qualities with bitter hoppy finish. Balanced towards bitter. Good solid palate and carbonation. Just strong enough to be heavy duty while still being quaffable. Becomes slightly sweeter as your mouth acclimates to the taste. Smooths out as you drink it. Very good overall.

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.

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.

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.

Pours a black amber color. Small light brown head that mostly dimishes. A malty burnt aroma. Flavor- initially pick up a little chocolate with a burnt coffee finish.

Pours dark black with a very small tan head. Aroma is very roasted with a great prune fruitiness. This beer has a great flavor. Starts off sweet prune with a very slight molasses and alcohol flavor moving into a great bitter coffee finish with a slight smokey hint. The great coffee flavor really sticks around and reminds you for minutes after your done of how great this beer tastes.
