look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5

Date marked says Expiration September 2011.
A- Black, very black with a 1/2 finger of head the color of creme from an espresso, little to no lace.
S- Thick strong coffee with hints of chocolate....roasted toasted malts that feel slightly burnt. Slight but crisp and assertive spicy resiny hops. Really an amazing scent.
T- Roasted chocolate , and thick dark coffee....as thick as a really fine espresso. Resiny american hops help to lighten the beer....they really have a dank plant like feel and this is a difficult thing to do for a stout. The hops pick up in the middle of the body and carry on throughout the finish.
M/D- Tick and heavy, but the american hops bring a unique side to this stout that I have not found in any other...the hops actually make this really dense alcoholic stout lighter and extremely drinkable. I have heard recent debate about this being some sort of an imperial brown ale, but I really feel that this is one of the finest stouts around,and coming from an east coast brewery too(this was a recent discussion on the BA message board). Victory doesn't let me down and I am glad to have 9 more bottles of this on hand right now.
