Wellington Imperial Russian Stout

Brewed by Wellington County Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Guelph, Canada

473ml can. Pours black with creamy amber head. Molasses, dark roast coffee, and chocolate on the nose. Starts bitter, with a bit of citrus. Lots of coffee in the finish, and licorice.. Slight sweetness, lots of bitter. Excellent stuff.

On tap at Volo. Pours a dark black with small mocha cap. Roasty nose with a definite coffee presence. Flavour has coffee and dark fruit. Alcohol is fairly apparent. Body on the thin side, at least for the style. Overall still enjoyable though.

Had a couple of these at Volo and I was pretty impressed. Chocolate, coffee, and lots of roastyness all over this beer. Balance with some alcohol and slight bitterness. Very impressive.

473 mL can. Dark brown with a nice tan head. Chocolate and roast in the aroma. Roast, thin chocolate and stale coffee in the flavour. Some roast/alcohol bitterness at the end. Body is thinner than many of the style. Decent.

After waiting a while I chose this as my second pint. They were only doing 330ml pours which was too bad; I could easily have enjoyed a full pint. If I am ever back in Ontario however I will definitely be picking up some more of this for my cellar.

Aroma / Appearance - Deep black but not nearly as oily and dense as many others this is on the lighter side of the style. Smoke, berries, coffee, and malt are present but overall I feel like it might be a bit on the thin side.

Flavor / Palate - Malt and roasted coffee give this a nice kick. Dry smoke comes next followed by a fruity licorice finish. All told it is decent but run of the mill. I guess it works as they seem to successful in moving the product.

Bottle thanks to matt7215!
Dark brown, thin tan head. Heavy chocolate and coffee in the nose, rather plain. Flavor has more, coffee, chocolate, heavy licorice, and minor alcohol. Rather salty and slightly thin, the alcohol is noticeable throughout after warming.

473 ml can from matt7215. Who has really good beer to trade. Thanks man! Pours very black with a good dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate. And dark toasted malt. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is burnt malt, chocolate, anise?, coffee? Almost chewy at points. Coffee does come forth in the finish. Nicely bitter. Good stuff.

This dark brown ale poured from a can with a rich tan head and a chocolate aroma. There is a carbonated chocolate flavor with a bitter licorice finish. A very tasty stout.
