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.

I have been looking forward to enjoying a Victory Storm King Imperial Stout for a long time. I was unable to find in in Indiana or Illinois, but found it right away at a Dean and De Luca in SOHO! This is a beautiful black beer with a developed but smaller deep mocha head. The aroma is sweet with a primarily coffee base. The flavor is also of coffee and some roasted malts.

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!

Bottle. Pours a deep dark brown, almost black, with a 2 finger reddish cream head. Aroma is strong, hoppy and roasted malts. Taste is absolutely wonderful. Not overpowering, but strong. Just as it says, has the roasted malt flavors of chocolate and coffee but nice balance with hops that are still able to stand out. Definitely will drink this again.
