Poured from a bottle into a snifter
Pours our very dark brown, once in the glass it is black with no hints of light coming through.
Good finger of a deep tan head.
Smell is sweet chocolate, dark fruits come through more then any other impy stout I have smelled, slight roast.
Taste is very unique, I will say that. Like a bitter bakers chocolate covered cherry... which leads to a bitter roast, finishes oddly bitter and dry.
Mouthfeel is standard Imperial stout, silky and smooth
I really do not know what to think here, do I like it? I do not know, some sips yes... others no...
I am glad I got a single, or am I, we will see? I will let this one warm and see how it changes!

Going on 2 years old. Standard pitch black imperial stout with a good carbonation. Aromas are fruit forward with raisins and plums along with some chocolate malt sweetness. Tastes are quite similar with a bit of wine like notes. Nice medium mouthfeel as well. Overall a nice stout that is still drinkable for the percentage.

Weak roasted malts, thin body, and high carbonation. Makes me wonder why they called it a RIS.

I rated it high because I loved it. But be warned, it seemed really sweet for a Russian Imperial Stout.
