Style: Russian Imperial Stout
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 8.50%
Availability: Rotating
Notes / Commercial Description:
A huge, viscous, full-bodied, dark as night, imperial stout yet somehow amazingly drinkable. Big aromas and flavors including dark fruits, roasted malts, dark chocolate, and spiced rum. Not for the faint of heart. Big but surprisingly nimble, as it can compliment any course of a meal.

Smoky and rich.... Strong hit of hops on the finish which surprises me quite a bit... Booze is very subtle... Anise is prevalent... Could be a bit thicker in body... Very tasty...super dark roasted malts... Hits of cocoa... Smoked meat... Some leather... Interesting take on the style...
