Commercial Description:
This deep dark delight harkens back to the days when such brews were shipped to the Imperial Court of Russia. With a firm roasty maltiness balanced against a generous helping of hops, Northwind has what it takes to stand up to the worst its namesake can dish out! Enjoy it by a roaring fire. Formerly called Iditarod Imperial Stout.

Bottle. Aroma was good, mostly chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit and spices. The flavor was a little off though; the roasted malt is slightly sour and doesn’t seem to blend too well with the other flavors.

Bottle; Pours a dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma was the best part of it; chocolate, sugar, roasted malt, dark fruit, and some light floral hops. Flavor wasnt that great; a lot of dark malt and coffee. Not that great in the flavor.

pours black with light brown head. smells like roast malt and wet paper.the palate is fairly creamy. taste is roasty burnt malts with some mild chocolate hops provide a nice balance to the malts. finish shows some alcohol.

Bottle. Dark brown with only a faint wisp of a head. Aroma of milky-rich chocolate and coffee. A little grassy hops come through in the taste. It’s mostly pure choffee, though. Not bad, yet somehow disappointing in the appearance and complexity.

Bottle: Dark black, almost no head. Only a light aroma. A lot of malt, I’m getting WAY to much smoke and wood flavors. Not really balanced. Can’t place the hops, but they seem don’t seem to match the beer. A decent stout, but I expect more.

Bottle shared by puddintane. Black pour with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, toasted malt, and light coffee. Flavors of light malt and chocolate. Thin body, not much going on here...kind of a wimpy example of the style.

Farily mild sweet aroma with notes of alcohol. Black with thin head. Flavour reminded me of a grilled burger with steak sauce (smoke, roast, & carmel.) Very smooth start to finish.

pours a used motor oil black with a nice looking one finger strong dark brown head. aroma is strong burnt malt and coffee. has a medium to heavy body with descent lacing and a little carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma just a little stronger. also has a small dry hop aftertaste and the alcohol is well hidden. it is a pretty well balanced impy stout little thin on the palate but not bad. as it warms there is a little orange and caramel flavor and aroma.
