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.

Re-Rate 06/29/02: Dark as midnight in the desert on a cloudy and moonless night, the head caps the darkness like its trying to seal it away from the light, chocolate its color, the lace clings for life to the glass. ’Oh That Smell’, burnt grains, bitter is the chocolate, hints of sweetness hides below the surface. Front is sweet, the top is full, the finish that of Prunus dulcis, dry and acidic, but what a great brew. Thanks Jayme

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. 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.

Pleasant mild aroma with a note of fruitiness. Pours with an awesome, full, brown head that leaves a pretty lace pattern to the glass. The beer itself is practically opaque, as black as night, The flavour is fantasticly balanced between bitterness and sweetness. There are tastes of smoke and a dark chocolate present. The beer tastes great & has a full body with a creamy testure.

On Tap in snifter. Really fricking good. Rich and deep flavors that are subtle. Roasted malt complexity that demands attention. Just incredibly great!
