Imperial Stout (2016)

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.

That still has a ton of the original character. Dry, bitter, astringent. Cocoa and coffee on the front. Little bit of cherry and raisins.

Dry chalky roast. A bit of dark cherry astringency. Thanks, Broady!

Bottled 20/12/2016. Last cellared bottle! Quality dense head. Intense dark berry umamis. Blueberry, blackberry, raspberry depth. Less coffee now, just deconstructed flavours. Burnt malt and bitterness throughout.

Has not held up in five years. There's no booze and there's barely any chocolate. Still it's not terrible.

2016 variety has was ages. Molasses with a roasty chocolate finish. Starts smooth but still has a little boozy kick on the finish.

Maybe a bit past prime, but still awesome. Starting to develop some nice molasses and raisin character.

2016’s are really tasty right now! Super fudgy and the roasted bitterness has died off quite a bit. It’s a completely different beer at 4+ years old in a good way for me at least. Thanks for the bottle Steve B.

Happy day 3 of Beersmas. I can’t find a year on this so estimating. Big smell when poured and still big taste. Aged well. Big, chewy, dark stout, no head. Nice night cap.

Black, thick motor oil-like pour. Bubbly, dark brown head. Nose of roasted malt, dark chocolate. Tastes like brownie batter, black licorice. Slight ash on the finish.
