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.

Deep dark stout with a thin light moka head. Sweet lactic coffee aroma with light chocolate, and nutty notes, roasted. In mouth, a good roasted coffee malt with lactic points, and burned toasts, alcohol not very present. Medium bodied. Bought in Chicago in Nov. 2005.

Bottle on 9/9/06. Opaque black/brown pour supports a lasting brown head. Aroma of coffee and dark roasted malts. Medium body, light carbonation. Flavor is predominately bitter with contributions from dark malts as well as citrus hops. Bitter finish. A drinkable good Impy Stout.

Received from BeerSwap 2.0. Poured into a snifter. Opaque black with ample ligh brown head. Aroma is sweet milk chocolate with some coffee notes. Taste has a Hershey’s Syrup quality. I like it. Sweet, smokey, bitter finish. Light on the palate. Not what we normally equate to imperial, but I’ll give this on a pass. I like it.

(22oz bottle) Small tan head atop brown-black body. Aroma is medium sweet, chocolate, coffee, roast. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate, coffee, roast, some smoke, caramel, earthy. Alcohol is remarkably masked. Creamy medium-full body, light syrup, quite drinkable for the style. Seems like a summery IS, if such a thing exists.

Completely black pour, little to no brownish head. Nice roasted chocolate, malty aroma. Very nice coffee flavor in this beer. Very smooth, a bit thinner then an imperial should be. Don’t get me wrong, this is not thin, but not as full bodied as it should be. Still a very good beer.

Bottle poured black with a thick, creamy head. Aroma was roasty chocolate with a slight metalic note. Flavor was roasty chocolate and coffee with a rather thin body.

22 oz. bottle. Aroma was sweet raosty malts. Black body with dark tan head. Had a good roasty malt flavor with some mild sweetness. Body had a rich creamy feel also. Smooth on palate with a roasty aftertaste. Enjoy by roaring fire? Well almost was enjoyed on the padio by the pool in 114 degree outside temp.
