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.

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.

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.

Heavy yet smooth. It's nice to enjoy a traditional Imperial for a change.

Rymlig beska i denna. Precis som hederlig gammal mörk kakaorik choklad. Synd att hälften åkte i chiligrytan

The smoothness on this is impressive. Possibly slightly muted, but dangerously drinkable.

Bottled 20/12/2016. It's amazing how this beer has developed. Big roasty umami bomb. Great texture and mouthfeel. Lingers long on the palate

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.

Aging like a champ. Full bodied, rich and smooth as hell. Chocolate, cherry and smokey notes to it. Would be great with a cigar. Maybe next time.

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