Oct 6, 2009 Draft at redlight redlight. The first Russian imperial stout I ever had, and it’s still one of my favorites. Pours an opaque very dark brown (almost black) with a tan head. The nose is dark roasted malts. The flavor is bitter and roasted with a touch of sweet dark chocolate and French vanilla. Creamy and smooth while simultaneously intense and robust.

Oct 3, 2009 Had on draft at Chappy’s in Dayton, OH. A menacing, black beauty of an Imperial stout. Pours an opaque black, with minimal head. The aroma is full of roasted malts. The body is huge and the flavor is full of roasted malts, hops and come hop dryness. Certainly some presence of black patent malts, this beer is bitter, roasty with chocolate and bitter espresso throughout.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours solid black with a thick brown head. Aroma is sweet milk chocolate, toffee, and some smokey roast malt. Taste is rich dark chocolate and some wood undertones. Thick creamy texture and alcohol is warming in the nose. After letting sit for a while the beer thins out and more coffee and roast flavors are present.

Sep 27, 2009 12 oz bottle - had many times, but time for a proper rate; bases on my purchase, guessing this bottle is around a year old; pours clear dark brown with thick, chocolate head; just a beauty; thick roast and chocolate on the aromas; sweetness is upfront; bitter coffee, creamy roasted malt; light, chocolaty, texture with super dry finish; very nice, but the underling thinness is what knocks this down a little bit and IMO keeps it from the ranks of impys like expedition

Sep 27, 2009 It poured a pitch black liquid with a small light brown foam that left no lacing. IT had a sweet smell of chocolate. It had a complex taste of chocolate, soy sauce, spices and a warm alcoholic finish. Smooth and very nice.
