Imperial Stout (2014)

Stout - Russian Imperial

Brewed with ten varieties of malted barley, this stout is smooth as silk, yet complex and rich in body. Serve this guy at cellar temperature. Put another log on the fire, sit back and enjoy the friendship of this ultimate winter warmer.

"The songs of the past bring back memories of you, Forever they will haunt me but what can I do. Those oldies but goodies" 🎸🎷🎶 Silky, toasty malty flavors, still bitter as hell...better @ cellar temperature recommended...I see why

Bottled 12/15/14. Solid imperial stout. No adjuncts, no barrels. Just a straight solid stout. Good roasted/smokey character in the back. A bit of bitter chocolate as well.

Wow, lucky to stumble onto this. Aging has mellowed this into a smooth brew, maybe a bit too smooth.

This one aged VERY well! Layers and layers of charred oak smoke and espresso with a leathery texture. Very mouth coating, as to be expected. Phenomenal complexity and very satisfying!

Not one of the best to age well. Just not as flavorful as it used to be. Rating is historical since it's my fault I waited too long.

This beer just holds up really well with age. Smoky, roasty, bitter cocoa nibs with a dry finish.

FLN; Has changed quite a bit; gone are the hops and most of the chocolate. Much more smoky and some tobacco, bit of cardboardy oxidation

Almost no carbonation. Dark chocolate roast with no hoppiness at all any more. Deep roast flavor. Really held up well.

2022 Santa Beers #10: the nose! Like I shoved a piece of milk chocolate up my nostril. Big roasty chocolate profile with slightly bitter chocolate linger. At 8 yrs a solid stout with a phenomenal nose.

Wooooow! This is AMAZING! Matured for over 5 years in my beercellar. Roasted malt, dark chocolate, soy sauce, dried fruit, vanilla, brown sugar, syrup, raisin, espresso and a little smoke. Smooth and surprisingly easy drinking! Full body, light carb.
