Thanks to Hopswagger for this one.
12oz bottle served in a Southern Tier tulip

A - Black body with a dark mocha head that is thick and rocky. Great retention with some tight weaves of foam stuck to the top of the glass.

S - Sweet roasted barley, creamy hazelnut coffee, nutty cocoa, dense caramel, dairy chocolate.

T - Sweet coffee, heavily roasted malts, chocolate, scorched cherries, burnt caramel, some green pine rides along side a moderate roast bitterness and toasted cocoa. The finish is long with roasted bitterness and coffee on the finale.

M - Heavy side of medium weight, full feeling, active smooth carbonation.

HOOOUUWWWLL! This will keep you up all night. Good use of coffee without drowning out rest of the team. The malts seemed concentrated and condensed(in a good way) to really deliver bold flavors. Solid bitterness that balances out some sweetness. Don't let the tacky label fool you. This is an awesome brew.

The beer comes black with a huge brown fluffy head.

The aroma has huge sweet cocoa and coffee. I don't get a huge dark burnt roast like other stouts, but more of a sugary chocolate.

The flavor has dark chocolate, gentle roasted malt. And the end, there's almost a bitterness or smokiness. The lasting aftertaste reminds me a bit of Yeti's, but in unoffensive way. It cleans up the richness of the beer and adds complexity to the beer's flavor.

The body is super creamy, full, and luscious. This is one of the highlights of the beer. The beer is very drinkable despite the ABV.

This is a fantastic Russian Imperial. Highly recommended.
