A ~ Pours a very thick burgundy/black with a lustrous head of dark mocha with extremely fine carbonation. Silky texture. Heavy stain on the glass. She/He's a beaut!

S ~ Strong notes of coffee, grain & molasses with a strawberry-like tangy sweetness close behind. Clean leather notes bleed into Soy Sauce with very faint hints of confectioners sugar & star anise.

T ~ Molasses & Black coffee following through with unsweetened cocoa powder & charred wood coming through strong. Very complex caramel notes reminiscent of Creme Brulee! Aftertaste is of burnt toast with strawberry preserves & pine resin.

M ~ Sticky! Hoppy resins attack the palette. Lots of oily-french roast style bitterness. Spicy & Boozy, with Slight burn on the back of the throat. Full bodied. Nice & thick.

D ~ Well worth trying, well worth seeking out, but, personally, I will not be revisiting. There are simply better Imperial stouts readily available for the price. I am very impressed with how many flavors achieved.

This little silver can packs the one of the best Russian Imperial Stout I have yet to have. The color is a dark black with a creamy slightly brown head.

The aroma isn't too strong, but it makes it up with the flavor.

It starts off a bit creamy, with a bit of dark chocolate and strong roasted malts. The coffee and huge chocolate flavors are in this. It has great creamy mouthfeel, but then cuts off the tongue nicely once you start tasting the alcohol in there.

The can is a good amount because it is so rich and boozy at times, you might want a snack or something with this. Its boozy, but does it so well.
