look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a standard pint glass. Kinda always surprised me that this makes it to 12 oz bottles. I've had this on draft before too. Russian Imperial isn't usually my jam, but I'll leave that at the door.

Appearance: Pure black with a nice huge tan head that took a long while to die.

Smell: Citrus, maybe anise/licorice hops, sweet malts, alcohol on the end. Not bad, but it always surprises me how much I pick up the hops here.

Taste: I guess it always surprises me how much I pick up the hops here too. Very much everything I picked up in the smell. So, citrus, anise/licorice, sweet malts and a decent amount of alcohol on the end, but nothing big enough to turn you away.

Mouthfeel: Stylistically, probably a little lighter, but not mistaken for anything less than medium to heavy. Light carbonation, but what is there helps me drink it from a more casual perspective. Draft was tough for me, personally.

This is an oddly hoppy stout. It manages to hide its strength impressively, but that comes out a little more in the bottle. I remember it being almost... dangerously hidden on draft. Not really a beer I need to drink more than a few times a year.

Serving type: bottle
