Author: Escape To Beer | Filed under: Beer Reviews

Name:  Russian Imperial Stout 2009

Brewery:  Stone Brewing

Overall Rating:  A +

Style: Russian Imperial Stout

Serving Style:  22 oz Bomber Bottel

ABV:  10.5  %

IBU:  90

Price:  $  5.79

Aroma:  Strong malt presence along with coffee  and chocolate.  Loved the aroma.

Appearance:  Dark as the night, dark like a black 2009 Escalade.  Try to see the light on the other side of the glass and it just won’t happen.  Great stout color.

Flavor:  Right off the bat my taste buds were hit by the coffee and malts and the chocolate.  Truly deliscious one of the better stouts that I have had so far.

Mouthfeel:  Nice rich body.  Thick like the malt if was made with.  Kick back and enjoy this one.  Good carbonation too finish the sip.

Enjoyability:  I really enjoyed this one.  I might be on a stout kick lately but this may the reason why.  I had been waiting to get my hands on this one.  This is good as an after dinner brew or one that you can enjoy when you are out with good friends.
