look: 4.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75

12oz can poured into snifter.

Appearance-pours dark black. With a thick dark brown head that slowly disappears. Tons of lacing. 4.75

Aroma-roasted coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, licorice, some mix dark fruits. 4.25

Taste-chocolate up front and center, coffee is there too but not as powerful as smell would indicate, toffee, buttercream, hint of plum at the end. 4.75

Feel-lighter then expected, coats palate but doesn't stick, alcohol is barely there. 4.5

Overall-first things first, for 4 beers your looking at spending 14 bucks. A little math and that comes too $3.50 a can. It's a little pricey. Okay with that out of the way, with this beer you get one of the smoothest imperial stouts you will drink. You will also get one of the best can beers available as well. If there is ever a session RIS this is it. So if you don't mind the price this has Saturday night written all over it. 4.75

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.
