look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

pours very dark with cherry corners when illuminated from behind. the head is light brown, thick and fluffy, spotting the glass as it goes down. the smell is of roasted malts and powdered chocolate, with a strong alcohol presence.

this one is dry, roasty and bitter all the way through. none of the dark fruit sweetness ive come to enjoy so much from imperial stouts. rather, this one hits you from the moment it touches your lips with a burnt chocolate bitterness that is very decent, until the finish and aftertaste, where its intensity is a little unpleasant. just burnt, roasted malts with a hint of alcohol, and not much else (aside from the touch of hops through the middle). very average RIS.

the mouthfeel is nice and smooth, although a little thinner than would be desirable. it is nicely carbonated. drinkability is pretty good, and i could have another, though i dont see myself seeking this one out in the future.
