Newport Storm 07

Formerly brewed at Coastal Extreme Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Middletown, Rhode Island USA

Bottle from Julio’s Liqour in Mass. Pours with a black body topped by a thin head with no lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with a nice floral hop note. The flavor is sweet and malty with a slight floral hop note, a hint of roast and a touch of chocolate. Full bodied and thick yet smooth going down.

This was a strange looking bottle that a friend pick up for me only because of the appearence of oi and he knows i like IPS, now for the beer it was a dark thick malty beer with a very small to no head at all.This was ok but not what i like in a IPS and that is a richer more taster beer.CHEERS!

Bottle, thanks to jjpm. Dark brown pour, no head. Aroma is lightly toasted malt, some nuttiness and alcohol also. Flavor is sweet malt, lightly roasted, but basically just sweet like it had fallen apart. Doesn’t fit the style.

Really cool, unique, classic looking bottle that looks like something you’d find on a deserted island. From that bottle, a flat, opaque, slightly watery deep brown brew pours with absolutely zero head with some very faint sediments setting on the side of the glass. Strong aroma of roasted malts. nuts, alcohol, expresso/coffee, brandy, chocolate. Their description says the nose has citrus and floral notes, I’ll let you decide whether that’s true, but if they are there, I wished they were a tad more prominent. Flavor has plenty of roaste malt, coffee, touches of maple syrupy, wood, whiskey, oak, vanilla, soy, choclate and nuts. Finish is very oily, my guess is the alcohol doesn’t help the texture or mouthfeel. Lasting flavor is a bit nutty, coffee bitterness and plenty of legs from the heavy alcohol (think a glass of Johnny Walker). Pretty good, individually the aroma, flavor and finish are good, but it’s not a great marriage. Got a few bottles in the cellar, hopefully things mesh better with age.

The color was a deep brown. The head was thin, fizzy, and off-white. The aroma was aged, dark fruit, spicey, musty, and molasses. The flavor was spicey, musty, and alcohol. The palate was pretty thin for an imperial stout. The finish was warm.

Pours a dark brown brew with no head. A little thin for the style. The aroma was sweet, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, cherries. The flavor is roasted, hot alcohol, sweet, semisweet chocolate, coffee, cherries, waxy hops, a bit thin on the mouth. Lasting finish.

(bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours dark brown with no head. Strong aroma of bourbon, caramel, raisin, and soy sauce. The taste was mainly caramel, raisin, and soy sauce too, tasted more like a barleywine to me. Very low carbonation, and somewhat thin for an impy, but it’s one of the most unusual impy stouts I’ve drank.

[Bottle, thanks Skyview!] Pours black with almost no head. Aroma is of alcohol and raisin mainly with some roasted malt in there too. The taste is dominated by the alcohol and roasted malt. Surprisingly thin mouthfeel. Long finish of roasted malt. I was somewhat surprised when I found out that this was an imperial stout--very unique and pretty nice.
