Served in a tulip glass before the Celtics game at the Beer Works by the TD Garden.

A- Dark black, below average carbonation, a finger or two of creamy white head.

S- Not as aromatic as I was expecting, smells of booze, malts, and a little bit of light chocolate.

T- Lightly sweet, chocolate, coffee, malts. Lightly sweet boozey aftertaste.

M- Nice head adds a little bit of a creamy mouthfeel. Decently balanced, a little bit boozey, but still drinkable.

O- This was an a little bit above average Russian Imperial Stout, but nothing overly impressing. Could have been a little bit sweeter to diminish the alcohol taste of the beer.

Serving type: bottle
