look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A - The Stone Russian Imperial Stout pours into a chalice the color of a Coke, with little or no head.

S - The smell is nutty, roasted malts, alcohol and coffee.

T - The taste begins with some sweet roasted malts and transitions to a coffee finish. Hints of semi-sweet chocolate and alcohol are also present.

M - The mouthfeel is medium/heavy, with a creamy carbonation. This baby is smooth!

D - Be careful. The 10.5% alcohol is expertly hidden. This is an extremely drinkable brew, a perfect blend of bitter and sweet; another superb offering from Stone.

3.6/5 rDev -17.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: Pours completely opaque; black. 1 finger light-brown frothy head that dissipates quickly; only a ring of froth remains once settled in glass.

S: Dark chocolate and molasses. Hint of licorice. Musty.

T: Quite a bit of malty dark chocolate.

M: Creamy, but not too thick. Light bitter sensation in the throat; lingering on the tongue.

O: Typical. Nothing sensational, but definitely a stout worth drinking. I think I'd enjoy this more with a meal than by itself...like a nice juicy burger =]~
